Portraits & Book Cover With Spanish Author Mamen Monsoriu
Not your usual author’s book cover for sure. Mamen is a Female Spanish Poet known for her edgy and honest takes and her celebrated book “100 Disparos” received a new expanded edition. I was excited to have the opportunity to shoot with her for her new cover,
Image Library And “Making Of” Video For New Band - The FO’s
I had the incredible honor of working with a new band, The FOs, throughout 2023 to create 2 of their Spanish language music videos, promotional photos, and a “Making Of” video of their first music video to help kickstart their band’s social media and press presence. The first video “Volve Con Tu X” was released in early February. Their EP will be released in early to mid 2024 followed by another EP and a cool music video we shot at La Finca Dispeinada in the wine country of Catalonia, Spain!
Portraits With Actor Stany Coppet
I love creating celebrity portraits and headshots for actors in Madrid. Working with Actor and Director, Stany Coppet did not disappoint! Stany has had some amazing and Iconic roles, but almost anyone in Spain will recognize him for his role as the handsome villain Khaled or “ El Principe” in the series “El Principe”. Also Vikings: Valhalla (Netflix), Deep Fear (Feature Film), and Aaron LeClerq on the French series: Demain nous appartient.
Image Library For Natural Winery in Spain - La Finca Despeinada
I had the incredible experience of filming and producing a music video and portraits for @thefosband amid a stunningly beautiful natural wine vineyard, La Finca Dispeinada, in the mountains of Catalonia, Spain. After meeting the two owners, of the vineyard, Petra and Alex, they mentioned that they needed some promotional portraits and photos.
I hope you enjoy these and that they convey at least a small part of the amazing energy of this beautiful place!
Set Stills and Key Art For “Montera” Music Video in Madrid
Working on set stills for any motion production is a challenge. You’re working off of lighting crafted too dark for most still photography and the time is less than ideal. But, it’s an amazing opportunity to tell two stories at once! In this case, I was capturing the cover art for the music video, but I also had the opportunity to tell the story of the production, which as you can see…was so much fun!
Portraits - Willow “Heart”
As soon as I met Willow I knew I wanted to shoot something with her. This collaboration with Willow was a three-way collaboration between Willow, Luca Calo (Makeup Artist) and me. The range of images we shot with Willow is so vast and varied.
With every collaboration, I ask the talent to bring their ideas and any visions they have for a photo session, so the origin of the shoot came from Willow's idea of blood and a heart, pardon the pun, but everything sort of flowed from there.
My goal was to take Willow’s inspiration, as I would the inspiration of any creative director or creative team, and use perspective, color, and light to flesh out the idea. She is a woman of dualities. She is extremely nice soft-spoken, and caring but with a fascination for transgression, gore, and knives, so I let that feed the spirit of the session, a balance between dark and light.
