Bajo Ulloa was born in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country). Being in contact with the world of imaging since childhood through his family's photographic store, he grew up observing the world through the lens of a camera, developing a genuine and early passion for cinema. At 14, he filmed the first of his award-winning short films. At 17, he founded his own film production company, Gasteizko Zinema, and at 22, he filmed 'The Kingdom of Victor', which won the first Goya Award from the Spanish Academy of Cinematography for a short film, among an extensive professional career filled with accolades.
