Heeeeeello!

What’s up everyone?

I’ve got so many cool stories about new projects to share with you but I can’t do it yet, so in the meanwhile I hope you’re ready for part 2 of my previous article, featuring my first photo session with beautiful model Danil Polanco!

I have a soft spot in my heart for anything sea-related, so maybe I’m way too biased when saying I love these captures so much! But still! There is such a beautiful melancholy about these, Danny’s natural beauty, her poses and expressions, the blurred sea as a background and the simplicity of the whole scene!

No make-up or hairstyle or styling, plus take into account that this was literally the first time we ever met! I love it when I can connect with a model so fast and they confidently pose for me in a matter of seconds!

I’m telling you, this girl is going places and I deeply hope she will cause’ she deserves it!

Definitely will be shooting more stories close to the seaside – already have a bunch of ideas buzzing in my mind, but I’m waiting for the right time to bring them to life!

Hope you’ll love these captures as much as I do! Enjoy!

What’s up everyone?

Ready for some summery, palm trees themed captures from sunny Barcelona? (well, not sunny right now as I’m typing this, on the contrary, it’s cold and dark and raining and I just want to cuddle under a warm blanket and cry.. ok, I’m diverting…).

Back to the story!

A couple of weeks ago I got the awesome opportunity to photograph beautiful model Danny, whom I met quite by chance to be honest: via Instagram. After all these years of being on Facebook and Instagram and I still can’t wrap my head about how powerful these networks are and how great they can be for making new connections!

So I basically noticed her while randomly checking my Instagram one day, saw her photos and immediately knew I wanted to have her beauty in my portfolio. Imagine how happy I was when she said yes!

We got together one warm and sunny afternoon for a quick test photo shoot close to the seaside, in an area with fat tiny palm trees (I always call them pineapples) because I wanted to include an exotic background in my portfolio too (I’m in Barcelona after all, I have to show it!).

It was such a pleasure to photograph Danny, as she didn’t need much posing direction or indications. Everything fell smoothly into place, without much planning going into it beforehand: the location, her natural beauty, the sunset light, the outfit (loving that knitwear top!)… I’m so happy with the outcome!

Those who know me, know that most of my “quick” photoshoots are not really that quick and can easily take more time than expected, as I often have new ideas popping up during the session, depending on how inspired I feel in that moment. So duh, I convinced Danny to switch locations after this set and moved to a different place where we caught the last evening light..

..but that’s for part 2 of the article 😉

Until then, enjoy the first set!
