Why I Love My Job as a Photographer
Photography has been my world for more than 25 years, taking me across continents and into the heart of countless cultures. From bustling city streets to remote villages, I’ve had the privilege of working in diverse countries, each with its own rhythm, colors, and stories.
What I love most is the people—their expressions, gestures, and moments that speak volumes without a single word. My camera allows me to be both present and invisible, to witness and preserve emotions as they unfold naturally. Every click is more than an image; it’s a fragment of history, a truth frozen in time.
I thrive on the unpredictability of my work. One day I might be photographing a traditional festival in South America, the next documenting a quiet, intimate scene in Europe. These experiences keep me curious, humble, and constantly inspired.
Photography, for me, is not just a profession—it’s a way of seeing, of connecting, of honoring life’s fleeting beauty. To stand in the middle of a moment and know that I’ve captured it forever is a privilege I never take for granted.
What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?
As a commercial photographer, my work spans a wide range of shoots — from portraits and events to industrial projects, product campaigns and interior projects. I work both on location and in my own Barcelona based studio, adapting my approach to each environment. I embrace every assignment as a fresh challenge, an opportunity to explore new perspectives, enrich my skills, and grow creatively. What makes each shoot special is the way I seek out its unique character — finding the light, mood, and details that bring the subject to life and tell its story in the most authentic way possible.

A fun fact about this photographer
At 19, I brought energy and joy to audiences as part of a tourist animation team at a hotel in Fuerteventura, in the Canary Islands. Not long after, I stepped in front of the camera, hosting a German television program — an experience that taught me how to connect with people, think on my feet, and embrace the unexpected.
