Last May Ferreira made an extensive report on the World Group Aesthetic Gymnastics Championship held in Cartagena.
A sporting event of relevance that brought together 1700 gymnasts from 28 countries for three days and whose organization was a success.
It should be remembered that in June of this year the renowned travel magazine “National Geographic Traveler” of the United Kingdom published on a double page one of the photographs that Sergio Ferreira took during the celebration in Cabo de Palos of the TIMONCAP (swimming trip to the Cape of Palos), scoring for the Spanish Cup.
The test was organized and sponsored by the Murcia Master Swimming Club and the Cartagena City Council.

Sergio Ferreira
From my beginnings I was a self-taught photographer.
When I was 16 I began to feel a special attraction for the world of image.
The cinema, billboards, magazines and television caught my attention powerfully.
At 22, I became a member of the Photographic Association of Cartagena.
This fact was crucial in choosing this language as a form of artistic expression, because it helped me to grow as a person and as a photographer.
They were several years of intense photographic activity and creativity with other colleagues and friends.
However, as time went by the situation changed.
The industrial crisis that affected our region led us to abandon the activity of the Photographic Association due to the lack of public support.
This new scene changed my personal and work future and I stopped my photographic activity for more than 12 years.
I return with an individual exhibition entitled "In the front line".
Little by little I recover the illusion for the creation of new projects.
Then, to expand my training, I begin to attend various seminars and workshops of renowned photographers such as Luis Castelo, Chema Madoz, Julio lvarez Yagüe, Manuel Sonseca, Miguel Trillo, Manolo Laguillo or Joan Fontcuberta, among others.
In 2015 I finished my studies in Visual Arts, Photography and Personal Project at the Miguel Hernndez University in Elche (Alicante).
My passion for this discipline has prevented me from dedicating my work exclusively to a single genre.
That's why I like to move between the documentary, the social report and the portrait.
I have received several awards, honorable mentions and selections both nationally and internationally, I have participated in individual and collective exhibitions and some of my works have been published in books, catalogs, magazines and press, my last awards have been Honorable Mention in the 2017 Chromatic International Color Photo Contest Awards, category “Street” // Finalist in the 2018 International Publisher Photography Contest, category “Architecture”, Madrid // Honorable mention in the Chromatic International Color Photo Contest Awards 2018, category “Architecture” // Honorable mention at the IKEI International Photo Contest 2018, Spain // Finalist at the 2019 SONY World Photography Awards, "Motion" category, London // Double page publication in the "Big Pic" section of the National Geographic Traveler magazine July / August 2019, United Kingdom // 1st Prize at the Prix de la Photographie Paris “PX3” 2019, category “Press
