The direct contact with the latin american cosmogony of other photographers and by the cooperative SUB, helped Diego to know a different way of understanding Photography and become closer to the reality that Eduardo Galeano speaks about in his work "Latin American Open Veins".

He is also one of the founders of ZPhoto, a collective that was born to create a space of photographic dialog in Zaragoza, in Spain. Since then Diego never stopped exploring the soul of what he is capturating. Armed with humbleness and huge hungry for knowing and communicate, he was granted again, this time to visit Bosnia. When he was checking the mail in Mostar, the catalonian NGO PAX Fundation gave Diego green card to travel to Colombia to document the reality of the landmines. An objective that was again present in his travel to Algeria, to get the testimonies of the Saharaoui people.
