Virginia being beautiful in a beautifully lit setting. The shallow DOF from the lens being wide open adds some nice glow around her, as well as smoothing out the busy and distracting background.

Looking back at a favorite shoot from last year with Max. Asya and Max brought the idea to me and I loved the concept. Max brings this awesome attitude and with his wardrobe and Asya’s makeup & hair, he totally owned the space in front of my lens. I wanted to make this look like a fashion magazine cover from the 50’s which is what I had in mind when I color graded this image. All processing was done in Adobe Camera Raw.

I love this shot of Sonia soaking up the sunshine from our session last summer. This is a great example of how you can find some lovely light here in the city and make it work for you. Looking forward to working with her again in the near future 🙂

Sonia is one of the most beautiful and fun people I’ve had the pleasure of shooting with here in Valencia. During this session, she took it to a whole new level. Olga’s makeup and hair work along with Sonia’s great posing and wardrobe, this shot just jumps out of the screen for me.

After an evening of shooting dance photos on the streets of Valencia, there’s nothing like kicking back and shooting more photos, right??!! Walter, Agata, and I headed over to Cafe Madrid / Hotel Marques House for drinks and more photos on location there. This shot is from the connector between the hotel and cafe with Agata owning this space with her look and attitude.

The lovely Elizabeth Ashley Claire having a few moments in the sun at Malvarossa beach. This covered space by the sand not only offers some great play of light and shadow for this portrait, but the space has some wonderful acoustics as well 🙂

I’m not only fortunate to have gotten to photograph Paula while she was here in Valencia, but also to have her as a friend. She was only here a for a short time, but Carmen and I really enjoyed getting to know Paula, who is so much more than just a pretty face 🙂

Jane is truly owning the space in front of the camera in this shot from our recent shoot. She’s super-engaged with the viewer here, giving it a different feel from my previous post from this session (and location).
