While out shooting with Elena on this Sunday morning, we happened upon this alley that had just been sprayed down. It created this great backdrop for some shots. Processing the shot in ACR, I gave it a “crunchy” look to match the overall feel of the location.

After appearing as Headshot of the Week! yesterday, Agata is back with this portrait from our studio session. I love the connection she has with the camera here along with that great smile. Agata’s not only a lovely model, but she’s also a yoga Instructor, marketing manager, dancer and traveler. Be sure to hit up her profile to learn more about who she is and what she does here in Valencia.

I had a blast recently shooting some promo images for these “tree huggers”, Leenor and Hristina. These two entrepreneurs wanted some fun and light photos of the two of them for use in their marketing efforts, and I was thrilled they reached out to me. These two make shooting this type of work no work at all. Both are so at ease in front of the camera (and beautiful too!) it was more like a walk through the park than an assignment.
Hit their Instagram profiles to learn about the work they do.

Jori and I took a ride from Valencia to Xabia to grab some photos in some crazy beautiful spots on the coast. Not only is the scenery fantastic (like our model here) but the light and wind were clearly on our side during this shoot too.

Another favorite from my shoot with Elena Crucianu this past weekend. Shot with only available light from the fantastic light you can find all over the city, even in midday like this one. Elena also brings her own light to these photos 🙂

The lovely Elena is back today with another image from our session this past weekend. This was one of the last shots of the day we did and this was shot in the Turia in one of the many alcoves in the side walls. LIghting is available light with the sun bouncing off the wall to camera left. This gives the shot a “lit” look without any fill flash or reflectors. Of course, Elena and her incredible eyes really make this shot pop.

The talented and stunning Delaine Kylynn Dobbs from our shoot back in 2020. I don’t get to shoot dancers often and would love to do more of this now that I’m here in Valencia. If you’re a dancer who’d like to create some magic, reach out to me and let’s collab!
