Same time every year...

November 14, 2025

It’s a honour to have retiring clients. Tsvety is one of them who unapologetically present herself in all of her glory. We did a corporate portrait session for her business as we did last year. But this time she felt more comfortable and asked me to do some sensual frames for her. That’s all I want to hear… 📸😊💃

If you need a book keeper in Spain or Bulgaria, she is the woman!

Location Shoot: Vall de Núria

November 11, 2025

As many other artists, my photography journey began with outdoor portraits and location shoots. Out magnificent Nature has it all - the light, the shapes, the colours. A perfect playground where you learn not only about the art you’re practicing, but also about yourself, where is your place and how you relate to it.

During my time living in the UK I began shooting more in the studio. I wasn’t able to connect fully with the constant clouds and rain, desperately searching for a stream of direct sunlight. This was one of the decisions to move back to a sunny coast. Barcelona and Spain in general has it all for me at this point - the sunshine, the clouds, the sea and the mountains. Honestly it is a place where I feel like Alice in Wonderland.

These collections of black&white photographs are created for a dear client of mine in one of the most magical places I’ve been - Vall de Núria. It is a south-opening valley coming down from the crest of the Pyrenees within the municipality of Queralbs, province of Girona, community of Catalonia, Spain.

We went around some little, private waterfalls, enjoyed the music of the forest, the sun and the cold, fresh water. My idea for the photographs was to get back to simply enjoying the process, not to focus on the outcome or so much of the technical aspects that my professional brain constantly observe. When you’ve turned your loved craft into a profession it looses the simplicity of the virginity, it’s like being an amateur is somehow more relaxed and freeing.

We did what we did. The outcome is beautiful. I enjoyed every moment and wish the day was longer so we can stay and play longer. I can’t wait to get back there with my camera and reate some more artworks.

*Photographs are censured due to client’s privacy. There are many more I’d like to share, but this is for now.

Beach Portrait - End of Summer

August 31, 2024

Another summer just went by. It felt short, like it slipped by faster than ever…

The beach is my most favourite places and locations to be. The simplicity it has combined with the peacefulness of the always moving waves give me a sense a home that noting else does. I wanted to use the last heat to create some analogue inspired, b&w portraits.

The result is pleasing both for the beautiful Elena and for me.

New Portrait Work for an IT Professional

August 12, 2024

Who said IT guys are not photogenic? Or wait, Italians don’t count?

One of my recent clients was the IT professional Francisco, who came to me for the experience. He wanted some photos of himself for professional purposes, but was mainly curious about having professional photographs of himself.

So we did exactly this - changed outfits, backdrops and positions.

What was more surprising but exciting to me was that he wanted some semi nude photographs too. This proved me once again that people are curious and exciting to see such work of themselves. And also proofs me that the work I do is relatable and beneficial for others too.

Thank you for the trust in choosing me as your photographer, Francesco! It was a pleasure having you in my studio!
