ARCHITECTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Every architectural photography project begins for me with a conversation with the architect, the studio, or the editorial agency to analyze the decisions that define the space. Together we agree on what the story should be, which materials or decisions to highlight, and how the project integrates with its surroundings because in contemporary architecture, landscape design is a fundamental element in any urban or public space environment. From that meeting come the framing, the time of day to photograph each shot, and the weight that interiors, exteriors, or aerial views will have within the coverage.
I close the process with digital retouching so the final image remains faithful to the architectural project and meets the standards of leading publications such as AD Magazine. I follow this same method for residential architecture projects in Malaga and the Costa del Sol (mostly Marbella and Sotogrande), as well as institutional or commercial commissions in Madrid, Barcelona, or internationally.
SELECTED WORKS
LA ALMAZARA
Philippe Starck and Touza Arquitectos designed La Almazara with a dual purpose, both as an exhibition space and a working mill. Located a few kilometers from Ronda (Andalusia, Spain), it produces olive oil while functioning as a museum dedicated to olive culture. The project includes architectural, interior and product photography for Ottostumm Mogs, Italian specialists in high-performance steel and bronze architectural systems. For the exteriors, I combined ground and aerial drone photography, alongside the production of video clips.
SULTAN QABOOS MOSQUE
The Sultan Qaboos Mosque in Muscat is one of the most imposing buildings in Oman. Photographing architecture at this scale demands reading natural light with precision to document volumes, balance contrasts and reveal the textures of marble and stone. Including people in the composition provides scale and helps the viewer grasp the real dimensions of the space.
LA QUINTA
La Quinta brings together three distinct registers within the same project: open interiors with landscape integration, spaces with industrial aesthetic, and Balinese-inspired exteriors. In this shoot for Utopia Construction (Palo Alto, Silicon Valley), the firm behind the full remodel of this contemporary villa in Marbella (Malaga, Spain), I combine architectural, interior and aerial photography, nighttime shots resolved with light painting, and video material, all condensed into an intense production day.
VILLAGE VERDE
The photoshoot alternates aerial and detail shots, combining wide frames to establish scale with close-ups on material textures. Village Verde is a residential development promoted by Sotogrande Andalucía and designed by L35 Architects, built around the concept of smart living. BREEAM certified, it integrates architecture and landscaping into the daily life of its residents.
