Recalling my first shoot with the amazing @carriecat.walk back in September 2024. Little did I know that this shoot would lead to several more creative collaborations, with plenty more to come!

I love the subtle smile Naiara is giving the camera in this shot from our studio session earlier this year. The smile may be subtle, but her eyes (and that hair) are anything but.

Karina cutting loose for the camera in this favorite from our "Rockstar" shoot back in February. It looks like a dark venue, but it was shot in the late afternoon, using flashes to diminish the ambient light.

You can see how the set looked like in the BTS photo.

The beautiful Stella B. bringing all the glam vibes to this b&w image from our studio session back in January. The dress she's wearing, from Kinnara Valencia, looks like it was made for her.

A favorite from my recent shoot with @yanefrenski for @forbesbulgaria. Yane is an international expert in EdTech and innovation and is currently leading @vizipedia, a hub for educational games and interactive video. With that in mind, I placed him on this life-size chessboard in the Turia to tie in the gaming aspect of Yane's work.

Another favorite from my "rockstar" project with my amazing friend and model, Karina. Thanks to shooting this with strobes, we didn't need to actually shoot this at night. You can see the setup in the BTS shot.

Another image with Mariia and the "No" wall. We were shooting on the streets here in Valencia when we found this wall with amazing texture. This spray-painted "No" was just begging to become part of our shoot.

And now for something a bit different from me, the "Rock Star". I reached out to my friend and amazing model @carriecat.walk to see if she'd like to stage a rock star shoot, and she gladly agreed. Together with @yana.dragomir and @carmenbellos1, we set out to create what looks like a view from right at the front of a stage at a show.

Mariia merging with the local street art here near my neighborhood here in Valencia. She did such a wonderful job creating a mood and feel during our shoot that it is certainly one of my favorite sessions since moving to Spain.

The classic beauty and grace that Yuliia brings to the space in front of the lens is breathtaking. She could have stepped right out of the pages of Vogue or Bazaar here.

One of the most joyful people you're likely to meet is our friend and model, Sonia. It's always a fun time working with her as she never fails to bring her wonderful mix of beauty, whimsy, and energy with her.
