He has been experimenting with photography since he was 16 and by the age of 20 it has become his way of life. Her bond with photography began when she had to take care of a mentally ill child. By taking pictures of him she discovered that it was the best way to contribute something to the world.

She studied artistic photography at the Serra i Abella school, specialising in the use of natural light and the representation of the female body. For her, feminine beauty exists in all bodies, not because of their physiognomy, but because of the emotion that emanates from them in an invisible way. Her photos reflect the delicacy of the feminine soul with its lights and shadows.

Calm and tranquillity are fundamental in her creative process, allowing her to let herself be carried away by what she feels in the moment.

My style is intimate, natural and close, always based on emotions and feelings

 

Union between love and poison and/or pain

 

 

What inspires me are people, spaces, light... I like to be in constant search of beauty

 

Generally, my works express feelings, I think that's why they transmit because they are real feelings, sometimes even sad, and I have the feeling that this connects with people

 

My best photos are usually improvised, I always find a moment to shoot and take that unique photo, that's the good thing about photography, you either capture that moment or it's gone, just like life itself
