FERNANDO
DELGADO

Fernando Delgado was born in 1957 in Santiago de Cuba. In 1969, he and his

family moved to the United States. They settled in Newark, New Jersey, where

Delgado graduated from Arts High School. He attended The Cooper Union

School of Art and Parsons School of Design in New York, studying with Louise

Nevelson, Milton Glaser, Henry Wolf and Herb Lubalin.

In 1981, Delgado began a successful advertising career in New York. Working

with the best talent in the industry, he honed his skills as a creative professional

with Macy’s, Avon, Bloomingdale’s, Bonwit Teller and Young & Rubicam

Advertising. After more than 25 years promoting, scrutinizing and working with

thousands of images, stepping behind the camera seemed only natural to

Delgado.

In 2005, he moved to the high desert of New Mexico, where he now lives and

works. His photography has been exhibited and published nationally and is part

of many public and private collections. Delgado is also a published author and

popular speaker. He conducts workshops, public talks, and works with groups in

the public and private sectors.
