His work has been featured in various publications and exhibitions around the world.

Besides his work as a photographer, Mario Cea is also a teacher and a speaker. He offers online and in-person courses on nature photography and high-speed photography. He shares his knowledge and experience with other photographers who want to learn his technique and improve their skills. He also participates in conferences and events related to nature photography.
