“The torch principle gave me specific and helpful tools to help turn on my creativity. It helped me understand the differences between the creative and the analytical side of my brain and showed me how to use my analytical side but also how to turn it off when I need to get my creativity flowing, and finally, how to combine the two to get real results! Thank you for writing this book!”

The practical exercises and available tools challenged me continuously to keep an open mind. The book helped me believe that, following my path, whatever place I reach in the end, it will be a good one. I really recommend the book!!”

Adela Martínez

 (About The Torch Principle book)

“I have been following the work of Javier Ideami for over a decade. He is a true multidisciplinary master in so many artistic, creative and technological areas. What most impresses me is his ability to direct the vision and the message of complex multidimensional projects while at the same time being able to get down to the details of all the different parts that make them because of his extensive expertise in so many areas. He is without a doubt the ideal person to direct any project that wants to achieve creative and original levels of excellence together with technical performance and innovative design.”

Javier Ferrer, PMP

 (Head of PMO at NN Spain)

“Javier gave two very successful talks, one in each university (Stanford University and UC Berkeley), demonstrating his unique combination of superb communication skills, extraordinary knowledge and expertise in his field, as well as the range of unique and innovative perspectives displayed in his talks. Javier also participated in an art exhibition at Stanford University where some of his award winning words were displayed. The range of creative disciplines in which Javier has earned awards makes him a unique asset for the creative industry. The unique combination of extraordinary experience, expertise and knowledge that Javier has amassed over the years guarantees his continuous contribution in quality and quantity to the innovation and development of creative media and other related fields in his industry.”

Javier has been widely recognized in the industry for this extraordinary ability and talent and for having received awards in multiple creative fields.”

Francisco Javier Barrera Perís

He is an extraordinary multidisciplinary artist with a very desirable personality that oozes warmth and charisma making him an ideal candidate for motivating any team as well as for any teaching in a creative or technology based environment.”

Andy Parkin

“I have worked with Javier in different projects in the last years and had the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the depth of his skills and talents in so many creative fields both in the art and technology areas. I met Javier for the first time at an international architecture symposium in sicily, Italy, where we both were giving conferences about cutting edge technology. I was impressed with the range of ventures that Javier was leading, ventures that unite multiple disciplines to produce innovative results with exceptional quality. Later on we collaborated on different projects. We are looking forward to continue our collaborations with such an incredibly skilled and talented professional, recognized with multiple awards internationally.”

James Kenney

(Director and Founder, SF Shorts, Associate Professor, California College of the Arts)

“I had the luck of getting to know the creative world of Javier Ideami a few years ago. I was always surprised by the imagination and quality displayed in each of his projects. He has a lot of clarity about each aspect of the production, but gives enough space to those that work with him so that we can add our own perspectives and experience to enrich the project. His enthusiasm and positive energy is contagious and all of those that work alongside him have the opportunity fo learn and grow through his experience.”

Jesus Calderon

Victoria Chaves Gómez

 (UMIVALE)

“Javier is one the best teachers I have met in my continuing academic career. He can dumb down the terminology if it helps get the lesson across without diminishing the passion and importance of the subject. His highly infectious creative flair is something many students would lose in their work if they merely ‘learned’ the subject.”

“Javier, the owner and photographer, is great to work with, and he gave me excellent guidance during the photo session. He’s also funny and very friendly, and this helped me to relax and enjoy the session. I gave him some very specific guidelines about what I was looking for, and he delivered on ALL of these. If you’re looking for a talented creative artist who really delivers above and beyond what’s required, then I highly recommend that you work with Javier!”

“My wife and I had purchased an outdoor photoshoot with Ideami, we were in San Francisco celebrating our anniversary and thought it would be fun to get some professional photos to remember the trip. Javier was very professional and did a great job. We were very pleased and would highly recommend him for portrait photography.”

Errol B

“This photo session was an absolutely positive experience. I told my girlfriend earlier today it’d be a dream to have Javier be our wedding photographer sometime down the road. I liked him that much. Without question, I’ll be recommending him to anyone I know who’s looking for a photographer, as well as returning whenever I’m in need of new photos. His easy-going, friendly, and professional nature really made the experience memorable for the two of us.”

“Javier is very thorough and patient. I was a total newbie and he explained everything in detail. He is very knowledgeable and the tips and tricks he shared with us in 2 hours are definitely way more than what I could gather by myself in months or even years. After some more practice I plan to return to his other workshops. Money well spent!”

“Javier Ideami e un artista eclettico. Nella costruzione delle sue opere si serve della matita, della fotocamera, della macchina da presa, fino ai piu nuovi e sofisticati procedimenti di elaborazione delle immagini e del suono. Sicche non e facile – e del resto neanche necessario – inquadrarlo in una sola delle possibili definizioni: disegnatore, fotografo, cineasta, artista multimediale. Ideami e un chiaro esempio di professionista dell’arte dei nostri tempi, un abilissimo conoscitore degli strumenti messi a disposizione dalla scienza, sia nell’espressione delle proprie creazioni concettuali che nell’interpretazione a scopo comunicativo di ideee altrui.”

Carlo Gallerati

 (Owner of Galleria Gallerati in Rome, Italy)

“En esta primera entrada del año, voy a escribir sobre uno de los mejores fotografos europeos de hoy en dia, alguien que lleva a sus espaldas varios premios de cine y fotografia europeos, y con una larga lista de exhibiciones por galerias de media Europa. Como amante de la buena fotografia que soy, cada vez que Ideami saca a la luz alguna nueva serie de fotografias no puedo sino solamente sorprenderme de la calidad de sus trabajos. La composicion de sus fotos, su colorido, la maestria de sus retoques fotograficos hacen de Ideami, sin duda, uno de los maximos exponentes de la fotografia artistica espanola y europea del momento.”

Javier Ferrer

(Javier Ferrer Culture Blog)

“In the exhibit – Natural Movement – Javier Ideami links the movement of the human figure with different natural places , creating scenarios where times stops and beauty emerges from the fusion between the different forzes of nature. One of his specialities is the art of digital retouching and in this exhibit he takes it to the limit in order to create works that seem real but at the same time generate moments of harmony between the human figure and the forzes of nature around it. Javier Ideami focuses his attention in the figure and its surroundings and with the dancing movements of the fragile figure, generates enthusiasm with an almost surreal effect, and with intense elegance and beauty, the author, creatively and intuitively takes the figure to the frontal position in the stage, using the backgrounds to express the depth of what is universal and emphasizing the space with delicate details. Contrasts full of light, in a romantic and poetic atmosphere, reveal a creative extasis that fills all his creations, capturing the emotions of the audience. The artist reveals himself as a lyric poet that with his creations shows the magic of the unity between the human body and nature, light and shadow, as creator of harmony between the human being and all that surrounds it. And in this way the artist shares with us his unique, fascinating and personal artistic vision. Javier Ideami expresses similar visions in other creative areas such as filmmaking, music, design and multimedia artworks.”
