Portrait of a Woman & an Artist

When the client’s requirements are to hit more with one shot - I’m always up for it! Especially if is working with artists.

Talents are one of my favourite people to photograph. They have this different point of view about the world that you can easily catch if you observe them for some time. Not all artists dedicate themselves to make a living from their craft, yet each of them incorporates their art in everything they do.

This is also the case with Dominique. An incredible woman I saw on the beach playing on her violin one winter morning while the sun was rising over the sea. I count believe my eyes. Sunrise, music, woman… what more I can wish for? It was a pure inspiration for my eyes and one of the loveliest sunrise experiences I’ve had.

Normally I’d pass by as I like having my mornings for myself, but I couldn’t resist to go find out more about her. So after I took some photos and videos, I went closer and introduce myself. Told her how inspiring I found her practice and gave my contact, hoping we can connect.

And so we did. She invited me to open mic sessions, I went to some of her events, she came to some of ours in Art Project Poblenou. And on top of that she became my client.

This is her portrait session where we focused on professional portraits for her day job and artistic portraits for her music performance. What an honour it is for me to be able to serve her and fulfil her photography requests.

Beautiful soul! Thank you Dominique for the trust in photographing you!

Beach Portrait - End of Summer

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

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!

New Portrait Work for a Sales Manager

The first male client I had since I’ve moved to the new studio was the sales manager Ramon Espada, who wanted to use the session as a celebration of his life and body for his birthday.

What a beautiful self-love present! Ramon shared with me that this was the first time he would be photographed professionally. But what made the huge difference in the session was the fact that he wanted to use this experience and the photographs as a way to accept his changing body. Now, this is what I’m talking about…

Everyday snaps, selfies and travel memories are great, but a photography session that can help you in building the bridge between your Self and your Body is a different thing. I said it many time and I’ll say it again - I truly believe beautiful photographs of yourself can make you appreciate and love yourself more. Because this is the beginning, the first and most important step into living a more balanced life, where you can give love and appreciation to others - by loving and appreciating yourself first with all the distinguish uniqueness you came to this world with.

What really surprised me, but also deeply complimented me was the fact that he wanted an abstract fine art nude photograph of himself. Something from your type of nudes, he said. He wanted to have such picture of himself, but not necessarily shoring that it’s him, so he can print it and put it on the wall in his house. I was so happy to hear and so pleased to do this for him.

Thank you Ramon for choosing me as your photographer and experiencing the both sides of my photography services!
