Postcards from London

It’s time for a photo gallery post! Even photography is not my main job (outside of work) I really enjoy it, especially when on the road. Sometimes I do have to keep it as phone photography only, just to keep my luggage light and to enjoy the moment and don’t annoy my travel companions with constant stops. However, it does make my trips more intense, and gives me beautiful souvenirs. London is a vibrant, amazing city, and I probably saw the best of it as it was sunny and hot […]

From the island, Mallorca

Field notes : discovering Mallorca First time for me in the islands. We had a few days to get a feel for the place—enough to catch its vibe, though there’s still plenty left to see and experience. That’s always the case. FOMO follows me wherever I go. I was glad to have my camera with me. I enjoyed focusing on what I like most: landscapes and places. Now I’ve got something to look back on—and a way to revisit that feeling of being somewhere else. Experience the photos in video […]

Ready to fly

Field notes from the airport It’s not every day I find myself with extra time at the airport and my reflex camera in hand—so when the opportunity arose, I couldn’t help but start clicking away. I’ve always liked being at airports, even when I have to stay longer than expected. They’re places of passage, where most of us are held for a while—waiting, lingering, adjusting. They invite you to sit and pause. To wander aimlessly past gates, simply because there’s still too much time before boarding. Or sometimes, to rush—toward the right […]

AI luggage or The Museum of Unreal Suitcases

A bit of personal context Why I made this series of AI luggage There’s no industry as dreamy and exciting as the luggage and travel industry. And it’s pretty obvious these days. The most trendy and exciting thing to do is to travel. New generations are all in for experiences and aesthetics. And luggage brands are popping everywhere, where Away went first opening the way. The after-pandemic high may also has helped. What else would look good on an Instagram grid than nice outfits in stunning places? Yes, we love […]

While in China…

The Chinese New Year is around the corner, and I can’t help but reminisce about my work trip there last year. The trip had its ups (meeting suppliers in person, experiencing the country) and downs (the exhaustion of long flights and getting sick). As with all travel to a foreign and faraway country, many things looked new and different to me—worth photographing, remembering, and sharing. Even so, there is plenty I won’t be able to share, either because it isn’t relevant, I didn’t take a photo, or simply because I […]

Let it fall

We’ve entered the Christmas mood season, so fall is almost a thing of the past—almost. And what a fall it was this year! Here in Tarragona, recent fall seasons have been mostly hot and sunny. This year, though, we had a good amount of rain. Unfortunately, that meant I couldn’t extend the beach season. Last year, I even swam in the sea on November 1st (and I don’t enjoy the cold!). This year, I can’t say exactly, but it must have ended several weeks earlier. A pity. On the bright […]

A glimpse of China

This is not the kind of content I would usually post in my projects page, as these photos weren’t taken with my professional camera and they don’t have the same artistic intention of my usual photography. But they are truly travel photos, taken with my phone during a work trip, sneaking some quick shoots in some in-between moments and with very limited editing. However, in my usual way, my selection doesn’t show the multitudes and frenzy that was around in most places. But it would also be unrealistic to only […]

Summer Daydream

Los Urrutias, 2023 Last summer, I was lucky to stay for a few days in this coastal town. During the hottest days of summer, I managed to be surrounded by water. I really got to enjoy this place thanks to my friends who showed me around, and we had the best time together. However, it’s not the story of my vacation that I find of huge interest, but the landscape and surroundings. It’s not a usual place. I was in a coastal town with beaches, and on the horizon, quite […]

Exploring Blue Hues

Exploring Blue Hues: Ink Art and Seascapes 2023 Let’s be honest, blue is the main color in my life. It is not a short phase. But in 2023 I did the following artworks that are very representative of how I use this hue and work with it, so let’s call it my Blue Era ’23. These artworks are all made using solely calligraphic ink which I mix with water using water brushes and regular brushes, and then I refine and add all the details with also a calligraphic pen. I […]

Mediterranean fall mood

I sluggishly say goodbye to summer when fall is clearly arrived. And I’m lucky, it does take some time to fully go away… I love how, while under the sun, it still feels like we can grasp a bit of summer, while winter is by the corner. I hold to every summer memento and try to keep the illusion alive. And, sometimes, the illusion becomes better than reality.

A peaceful walk by the beach

Capturing the Mediterranean feeling. When the water is this blue, the trees this green and the sun shining so bright, I just wish I could wonder these coastal paths forever and watch every detail for hours on end. The quest by the beach In this photography project, I aim to capture the essence of the Mediterranean. Here, vibrant blue water meets lush green coastal flora under a dazzling sun. Each photograph showcases the unique charm and beauty of this region. I invite viewers to immerse themselves in its serene yet […]

Lost in time… or simply bored?

Boredom strikes: #1. The clock is ticking, every second further than the previous one. It is impossible but it does feel like it. Waiting for the hour to finish, I struggle to keep my senses awake, while holding my eyes open, grasping a memory of a fading happy attitude. But right now, life seems an endless misery… ~~~ #2. Time has stopped, or so it seems. I’ve been focused for a long time, submerged on that paper, not blank anymore, while the breeze is coming through the window with smells […]

Nightfall

The contrast of light during the night from images and highlights textures that gives us different perspective and vision of ambients we may know very well during daylight, but that become so mysterious and surreal after the sunset.

French waters ahead

No, sadly, this is not a post of my vacations in France, tasting la vie en rose. This September I started going to class for french and I wanted to write a little bit about it. Just to remember how it is to start something new like this. When we start learning a new skill it’s always a bit uncomfortable. We don’t even want to tell the world that we are beginners, because we know we are making many mistakes, and that… well, we are still quite bad at it. […]

Mediterranean Garden

Treat every corner of the outdoors as if it was a set for a still life portrait. Allow ourselves to spend some time realising how many details we miss. Then walk back to reality.

5 things I love about my city life

How do you find life in the city? I haven’t always been living here and even it has its challenges, it’s nice to rejoice in all the small pleasures it brings. So I’d like to detail some of them and maybe inspire you to think about what you love about where you live right now too. I realise that tomorrow may be different, hopefully even better, but there will be things to miss and it would be a shame not to notice them while I can still enjoy them. I […]

Golden Sea

Maybe this is why we call it Costa Daurada (Gold Coast). I loved capturing this sunrise, in a cold february morning. The textures of the sea surface, the really small waves, the changing of colors happening so quickly, the reflections and shadows…

Blissful day, sun & waves

Lucky days, when the sun is shinning and the surf is pumping! I could spend hours, under the sun, looking to the horizon, to these beautiful colors, with the warm rays of sun on my skin and the monotonous sound of the breaking waves. This is not Hawaii, just the Mediterranean…But it’s also good for inspire some summer dreaming.
