‘Observational storyteller using light, geometry, and the human presence. A Photographer with a documentary eye, but with fine art restraint.’

I am a Barcelona-based photographer focused on documentary, lifestyle, and portraiture. My work explores the rhythm of Urban life, the relationship between people and spaces, and the subtle play of light in everyday scenes.

Alongside my own projects, I work full-time as a photo and lighting assistant for commercial and editorial productions, which has grounded me technically and inspired me to develop my own visual voice.

Available for assignments across Europe and beyond, feel free to reach out and start a conversation.



'At our best and most fortunate, we make pictures because of what stands in front of the camera, to honour what is greater and more interesting than we are. We never accomplish this perfectly, though in return we are given something perfect - a sense of inclusion. Our subject thus redefines us, and is part of the biography by which we want to be known.'     Why People Photograph - Robert Adams
