Since last summer, I’ve been working more regularly with Minor Hotels Over this time, I’ve had the chance to work on several projects in Spain, mostly for NH Collection Hotels & Resorts, but also for NH Hotels & Resorts in Paris and Barcelona, and for Tivoli Hotels & Resorts in Italy at the beginning of 2024. Here’s a small visual journey. 14/06/2025
Whatever the reason that brings people in front of my lens, I’m grateful for every single one. Portraiture has become one of my passions in recent years. I also have the privilege of sharing many of these moments with a truly talented portrait artist: my wife, Eulàlia Peres. I’ll introduce her properly in an upcoming post dedicated to her work. 13/06/2025
Light and color, my essential allies. Whenever possible, I love taking the time to carefully light and photograph the dishes and cocktails that hotels need to showcase. 13/06/2025
Excellence in design is in harmony with the history in the Gran Hotel Inglés.

They were already offering luxury and technological advances of the moment such as electric lighting, telephone or running water on all floors. Many original structures, such as the iron columns, were respected. You can even find two original …

Because of the pandemic, more than ever, people are buying online. The images for e-commerce are the only connection with the product for an online shop. There’s no real-life seeing, touching and trying, just the photography. Reason why they’re essential. Only the best quality images will guarantee to bring the most useful visual information for a product or service. Either on white background, either with a more sophisticated setting and stylism, there’s a strong importance of lighting, composition and sharpness to …
A residential area that turned into a resort. Bahiazul is a very special resort, all the “rooms” are villas with their private pool. It has been projected as a luxury residential area but its conversion got a great success. A great place to be on holidays at Fuerteventura. This year, they started with some renovations and they will follow on step by step. My pictures of the exteriors and of the villas are showing the first step. 30/03/2021
Two passions in one. «Nos han robado la primavera» (They’ve stollen our spring) 61x38cm. This is the first artwork of a new line that combines my two passions: photography and painting. The starting point comes from my project “2 suns” in which I was missing some kind of extra dimension. Mixed media, giclée printing on canvas, acrylic, ink and marble dust. It was available at @artistsandbarcelona but has been already sold. If you did like it, I can do a new …

Back in the time, the car was the hero. When I started, I was mainly a car photographer. At that time I did try to bring the people-plus-car combination on the table. Just like in the ad concept for the Honda CRV campaign or in my portfolio examples for Audi TT. I guess the market wasn’t totally ready for that. Lately, it’s getting mainstream in advertising, and not only for cars. The experience is what matters. For my “happy holidays” 2020 …
Almost a complete refurbishment. After a logotype change and a complete makeup of the brand, it was a must to change the Barcelona shop’s interior design as well and picture its splendour. On the ground floor of a classical building at Paseo de Gracia cross with Aragón street, some years earlier, the famous Fashion Café stood there. It seems that the fashion part did remain in the place if you only have a look at the new, very vanguardist, Burberry’s collection. …
Indoor portraits are requesting me to play with the light. Most of my clients know me principally from my architecture, interiors and culinary photos, but few know me from my portraits. I have always liked these, but they matter more and more to me. So far that it has become my third speciality.Lately, I am dedicating more time to the studio portrait, playing with the light to create an atmosphere in line with what I want each one to transmit. 09/11/2020
A dreamy beach or a closed beach? About to reopen businesses, a new marketing need arises. It is no longer just worth teaching what is beautiful, appetizing or what you eat well, you also have to convey that it is a safe place and where you are taking all the safety measures for consumers’ health. Even the same visuals that previously made you dream, today can have another meaning. White sand and turquoise water, with no one: a dream come true! …
The sun is not at the same place anymore. After two months of social coma, confinement state is ending.We did close the door of our houses with warm clothing and we’re opening it back in a t-shirt. Despite the sensation of being trapped in the groundhog day, time did running by more than ever. The time that did pass by is represented by these pictures of Barcelone in which the sun is not anymore at the same place and the shadow …
Is it possible to take an interior photo at € 10? Yes, but is it reasonable? Starting with this question, while we were confined, I recorded six video tutorials (sorry, only in Spanish), in which I first explain the only way to get an interior photo at € 10, which is to do it in a very short time (that is, counting that you cannot bill knowledge, nor investment, nor experience). Then I explain the HDR technique that allows an image …
From the applause to the party. In my building, for two months there was a party version of “Covid-19-balconing.” Every day at 8:00 p.m. between March and April, the applause for the sanitary collective has been followed by smiles, music, dancing and a healthy party. 30/04/2020
Personal project of one image within another. “Under the titanic fight between light and darkness, India ink hits the paper once and again until it opens the door to a movement fixed into eternity“I wanted to create a deepness recreation with Indian ink on drawing paper and represent a landscape of volumes between the contrasts of its folds and the darkness of the ink. One of the black stains opens a window on another image, a nude painted with light. Be-ink …
Personal project of criticism against pesticides Harmful pesticides! The beautiful and colourful fruits and vegetables that we find in the shops are full of pesticides and chemical fertilizers that are killing us silently. In a way, we know it and we would like this won’t happen but for some reason, it doesn’t seem real and we think that it will not affect us. Like people who smoke, they know it’s bad, but since the poisoning is slow and quiet, it’s not …
Five stars hotel Me Barcelona will open in fall 2021. There was a first Me Barcelona years ago, but neither the building nor its location was matching the essence of the brand and Meliá planned a change. After renaming this Me Barcelona on Pere IV street as Meliá Barcelona Sky, the search for another location began. How could Barcelona, a city so cosmopolite and hip remain without a Me? Finally, a very nice project germinated, the reform of the “Novedades” cinema …
Veteranos An e-sports team that plays in the Call of Duty league asked me to shoot their presentations pictures. Taking advantage of the session, I did record some video sequences to combine with the photos on their promotional video. Veteranos photos y video 01/09/2019
Apartments “Portadores 7” At the end of this year, I have had the opportunity to shoot some very nice touristic apartments in the Gothic quarter of Barcelona, next to the Post Office. Result of the complete reform of two buildings converted into one, respecting the essence of the neighbourhood and remembering the Barcelona of the beginning of the last century with parts of hydraulic flooring but with a nice interior design between modern and boho-chic. 3/12/2019
Shortlist at Lux awards This year 2015, there was a projection of those of the works presented that had passed to a shortlist before the celebration of the winners. I did submit a series of five images “up & up & up & up & down” that made it to this list. Premios Lux – 25/11/2015
A picture that worth 60.000€… of incomes The Gran Meliá Sancti Petri hotel in the province of Cádiz is one of my favourites because of its location and the peace it transmits in its facilities. Many of the rooms on the ground floor have direct access to the pool or the garden with a privative area. This photo was taken to promote the rooms on the seafront with their private Bali-bed. At the end of the first day of using it …
