Yasa Closeup

Between swimsuit shots with Yasa, I took a few minutes to shoot some closeup images with her on the stairs leading to the water from the parking area. Having shot portraits for over 30 years, I feel this is one of the most captivating I’ve taken. Of course Yasa and her amazing connection to the camera here have a lot to do with it!

Thanks to Anja Ekstrøm for the opportunity to work such great talent!

Isabel Tree-side

Isabel and her amazing intensity working that space in front of my lens here around the corner from where Carmen and I live. This tree makes for a great background and posing prop (as well as just being a cool looking tree). Shot with available light, which comes from sunlight bouncing from the building behind me in this shot.

Faraway Stare

I love the faraway stare Elizabeth has in this shot from our session by the beach. While it was chilly on this day, the light was wonderful at Malvarossa and Elizabeth certainly shines here.

Darina in the Tower

Darina being beautiful at Quart Tower back in December 2022. She was one of the first models I got to shoot with after moving to Valencia, and I’m so thankful for her spending time in front of my lens. Hopefully we’ll do some more in 2024!
