The beauty and talent that is Bessa is in full effect here with this shot from our recent shoot on the streets. Nicole at Kinnara Valencia put together this outfit from shop and provided those cool “tusk” earrings that perfectly line up with the look of the clothes.

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.

The lovely Naiara lighting up the space in the studio with this high-key portrait in the studio. It’s wonderful when you get to work with someone who truly understands how to have presence in front of the camera.

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.

A favorite from my recent shoot with the beautiful Naiara. This soft lighting is the product of a large 3×4 foot softbox above and at camera left. I second strobe in a Fresnel modifier is behind her at camera left providing the hair light. It’s a simple setup but less can certainly be more as Naiara is clearly demonstrating in this image.

With Fallas in full swing, it’s a perfect time to revisit my shoot with the lovely Claudia in all her Fallera glory. The time and attention to detail it takes to transform into a Fallera obviously requires quite the commitment. Claudia, who is already beautiful to begin with, is the perfect palette from which a stunning Fallera emerges!

Eli stepping towards the camera and owning that space around her. I love the friendly and chill vibe she’s bringing to this image, and it’s why I wanted to share this one today.
