Biography
Biography
Francisco Pertierra started at photography in Madrid, where he was scholar of Pedro Martínez de Hebert. He got a studio at 1864, on 13 Barcelona Street. Few years later, he was moved to Salamanca, where he opened a studio, despite that success was out of time and with undesirable conditions. However, he was the first photographer with a studio in that Castilian city, initially in the core of the Plaza Mayor. Later, he would compete with the French photographer Jean Poujade. Finally, different troubles caused him to transfer his studio to José Oliván and left the city. In 1885, Pertierra arrives to Manila (Philippines), where he established a new studio at 2nd Carriedo Street.
