José Andrés turns 30! A camera to capture his charming madness

Dear friends, family, colleagues and party-goers,

We’re not going to lie: José Andrés, that slightly mad Venezuelan we love so much, is about to turn 30. (Yes, he’s survived three whole decades!) For those of you lucky enough to have shared a moment with him – whether with family, at work or during a wild night out in Barcelona – you already know this lad is anything but ordinary. His heart is as big as his infectious laugh, and he always has that twinkle in his eye, even when it’s 3 am – or rather, more like 5 or 6 – and he’s desperately searching for the keys he’s lost for the third time that night... 🤦‍♀️

But did you know that José has a hidden (or not-so-hidden) passion for photography? Yes, behind this man who’s always ready to party until dawn in your company lies a true artist, who has already captured many beautiful moments, albeit always with equipment that’s a bit, shall we say… improvised.

For his 30th birthday, we think it’s high time we helped him rediscover his passion by giving him a proper professional camera… And not just any dream, but the dream of dreams: a Sony Alpha 7 IV 33MP. With this, he’ll finally be able to capture the world in his own way, between two crazy jokes and three incredible anecdotes. We can already picture the photos: stolen moments... somewhere between poetry and extravagance.

So here we are, launching a fundraiser to give him what he deserves: the equipment he needs to immerse himself once again in the art he loves and, above all, to immortalise what he already does so naturally… making every moment a little more magical.

Thank you all for your contribution! And don’t forget: a photo is fine, but a photo taken by José Andrés will be as exceptional as what he represents to us all.

For his birthday, better than offering alcohol :

🤜🤛 1 shot ... €6

🍸 1 cocktail ... €15

🍷 1 bottle of wine ... €25

🍾 1 bottle of champagne ... €50

🫂 Passion always ... 🫵
