The purpose of this text is to develop a double approach. Beginning with a general review of the transformation of the photographic medium after the nineties as a result of the development of digital imaging or numerical photography, if preferred, it then proceeds analyse the development of photography in Spain. The aim is to scrutinize the field of photography in this country and determine the extent to which such digital transformation has left its mark, whether it has done so through a major transformation of photographic creation, as appeared to be heralded by the boom and development of post-photography, or if, on the other hand, such transformation has operated more superficially, more like an adaptation or readjustment related to a new “ecosystem”, a process that could have, paradoxically, triggered a certain essentialist reaffirmation. It could be methodologically interesting to analyse a specific case, as is Spanish photography, approaching it from a more general context so that it might be possible to clearly outline the type of changes that the digital world could have inevitably brought about. The prospective density that post-photography involved (which was particularly intense in Spain between 2010 and 2015), both in ontological and in creative terms, could have gone the far beyond what reality in these last years has confirmed. The term post-photography will be used in a general sense and as a contextual landmark, understanding it as a term that can largely allow us to effectively address the context in which photography develops after the widespread implementation of the digital medium
