Professional skills

Photography is an art, but you don’t necessarily have to be an artist to excel as a photographer. Having an eye for images and the ability to create dynamic stills of special moments is only part of the skills needed as a photographer.

Artistic skills, technical skills, good communication skills, ability to work well under pressure and meet deadlines, patience, dedication and attention to detail, and ability to work independently and in a team are some of the strengths I have acquired in my more than 15 years as a professional photographer.

uniQUE vision

The creative use of one’s eye and thinking is a crucial skill for a photographer. As a photographer, your artistic genius is housed in these two areas of your body.

But, why do I put so much emphasis on vision in my photography? Because I feel that vision is what differentiates an outstanding image. It’s what distinguishes a technically perfect image from one with emotion. 

Of course, the first step is usually to provide the client with the photographs they require, but something special is to go beyond what is expected and offer something unusual, surprising, and one-of-a-kind, which is why they choose me for the work at the end. 

In the end, this vision is just the sum of my life experiences that cause me to see the world with a different light.

EXPERIENCE

The only way to becoming very good at something, like anything else in life, is to PRACTICE. I’ve taken over two million images throughout my career, and the number is growing.

Every photo I’ve taken has taught me something, and I’m constantly learning from them. I’ve worked in a variety of photographic sectors, and each has taught me skills that I can apply to others. All of this, and many other factors, contribute to my ability to adapt to each session in a unique and diverse way.

PROFESSIONALISM

A signed contract is required for each job. For me, it is vital that everything is clear before starting an assignment with a client, and that the client understands what is included and what is not, while also feeling protected by the terms and conditions agreed upon beforehand. That builds trust and distinguishes me from other photographers who merely use words with clients.

I always deliver on time and to specification as promised and respect our agreements; if I can’t, I let you know ahead of time and try to work together to find a solution.

I always maintain honesty and transparency in my pricing and respect quotes, even if I make mistakes; if there are significant deviations or changes in scope, I communicate this and reason with the client.

PASSION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY

Photography is more than simply a career for me. I became a photographer because I enjoy the art and the challenge of composing and producing stunning images. For my clients, I have the honour of producing enduring photos that they will cherish for years.

Equipment

I photograph with state-of-the-art equipment, including lenses and lighting equipment to adapt to any situation. Whenever I cover an event, I always move with loads of equipment to make sure that nothing escapes the camera. And it doesn’t stop with the cameras, post-production is done on some of the best graphics equipment on the market, including calibrated monitors specifically for photography.

Every year I invest more and more in new equipment. Equipment alone does not make you better. First of all, you have to know the equipment you are using and, secondly, you have to know which equipment to use for which moment.
