Documentary and brand photographer, Barcelona
Based in Barcelona. I document people, places, and brands through unposed, narrative-driven photography. I tell the authentic story of a space, a product, and the people behind it.
My approach is strictly documentary: natural light, raw flash, and zero staging. I shoot the room the way it actually looked.
The frame I am after is an intimate, raw moment that tells a story. Real and human. Not styled, not staged, not a version of the room polished for an audience.
For a brand or a business, this is how the story gets built. The cafe before the doors open. A maker's hands on the work. The expression on a customer's face when they tried something they would not have ordered yesterday. These are the photographs that make a space feel like a place, and these are the photographs that get a second look online.
I work across four bodies: Leica M10, Fujifilm X-Pro3, Contax G, and a Canon AE-1 Program. Film and digital both, used depending on the brief. For events I combine the two: film for the texture of certain frames, digital for the speed and low light.
Delivery is usually five to seven days. Twenty to forty edited frames depending on the length of the shoot. I edit conservatively: colour, contrast, light correction, and that is it.
Brands, cafes, and other small businesses across Barcelona. Portrait sessions for individuals and groups. A selection below; the full portfolio is one click away.
If you run a space, a brand, or an event in Barcelona and want photographs that look like what was actually there, get in touch. Tell me what you are working on and I will come back to you within a few days.

Beyond the work, I write about photography: gear, philosophy, technique.
