INTERIOR DESIGN PHOTOGRAPHY
Contemporary interior design is built on a more sensory level than it used to be, with materials, textures and lighting setups working in service of experience. My interior design photography follows the same line of thought: a space exists for how it feels and how it is lived in, not only for how it looks. Whether it is a shop, a showroom in Malaga, a hotel suite in Madrid or a villa in Marbella, my initial reading of the project with the interior designer, the studio or the firm helps me understand what the space proposes, what decisions define it and who it is addressed to.
Each typology has its own demands and the photography shifts with each one: a retail photoshoot is built to convey a brand ecosystem before the product itself, a hotel communicates on more aspirational terms, a showroom moves closer to a faithful reproduction of the space for catalogue use.
In pre-production, which almost always includes a site visit, we set the priority framings, the shot list and the coordination with the client's team. When the brief includes video, I try to concentrate both formats within a single session, within what the operational reality of the space and the complexity of the project allow: producing interior design video calls for finer chromatic precision and lighting than in other niches, so timings are adjusted to each real case.
I work regularly across Andalusia, the rest of Spain and Europe, with a clear objective: that the images sustain the interior designer's work in front of their client, the specialist press and their brand communication.
SELECTED WORKS
BOLIA
The Pernille Christiansen agency (Paris) supports Bolia's international communication: following an initial session for the opening of their Madrid store, we collaborated once again in Malaga. The brand’s showroom was set up in the iconic Rafael Moneo building, and its architecture is also part of the customer’s retail experience. We carefully planned a zone-by-zone walkthrough in advance, focusing our work during the two hours prior to opening to the public. Inside, the flashes sustain volume while balancing color and atmosphere; outside, I sought geometric and graphic compositions to faithfully describe the architect’s work.
PEDRO PEÑA INTERIOR DESIGN
This shoot for Pedro Peña Interior Design documents the interior design project in a luxury villa in Nueva Andalucia, Marbella (Malaga, Costa del Sol). It relies mainly on natural light because the architecture allows it: the large windows of the open, double-height spaces let in so much light that I used a polarizing filter to cut reflections and balance the exposure, while in the more enclosed rooms I added some low-intensity fill flash.
THE EDGE
Medium and tight shots define this interior design photography project for MON Interiors at The Edge (Estepona, Malaga). We chose to begin the session shortly before dusk, so it would include images with both harsher daylight and a softer, more diffused light, giving us exteriors with a sense of calm. Inside, I used medium-intensity fill flash to balance the contrast between indoors and out, without losing the directionality of the light.
