Winning photos

This picture was taken with a 85mm 1.4 to obtain a delicious bokeh. Filtering the light with a reflector/diffuser just enough to achieve this lovely pic.

72nd Collection

A fitness photoshoot made with two lateral strip boxes with green color gels and one neutral softbox to keep the balance on the skin.

72nd Collection

Playing with continuos neon lights and fire at the same time we achieved this great and long lasting yoga pose. Very challenging but very worth it.

One of my favorite studio portraits with lots of glam and fashion. Using two side color gels and a butterfly beauty dish to highlight the makeup and to get some shadows.

72nd Collection

A beautiful and subtle photo, taken at a rooftop at the perfect time and with the perfect model. All being the most important features to achieve this picture.

Playing with fire and sparkles. A night shot using high speed sync to freeze the fire in mid-air and using a speedlight flash to softly fill in the shadows.

71st Collection

Traveling and enjoying Medellin's colors and scenery. Making this street shot to allow the model and the environment to perfectly fuse in a colorful background.

71st Collection

One of our favorites outdoor photoshoot with the perfect sunset captured with an 85mm that allows the model to separate it from the background, drawing attention at first sight.

71st Collection

A magazine cover photo. A photoshoot using a black background, a beauty dish and a reflector to highlight the model's makeup and features.

A tropical photoshoot with lots of colors and personality. Playing around with color gels and the model's perfect curly hair that portrays that beachy and tropical look.

71st Collection

A studio photoshoot with a simple but fashionable and elegant concept where the shadows play a fundamental role without taking away the prominence of the model, who is the main character.

70th Collection

Beauty and lots of attitude in the same scene. A studio photoshoot using a rembrandt lighting scheme and side lighting to separate the model from the background and create more dimension and a better perspective.

70th Collection

A photoshoot with a casual urban street concept using a beauty dish from the side to generate contrasts in the skin and the shadows of the body obtaining more depth and relief in the scene.

70th Collection

An urban-street photo on a warm and slightly cloudy day, working with natural light and focusing on that attitude and posing of the model…

70th Collection

A brushstroke of great art, a studio photoshoot made using two side stripboxes to generate an outstanding light on the edges of the model and a beautiful butterfly-shaped dish to fill in the shadows just a little.

70th Collection

Sometimes a refreshing milk bath is healthy for the skin. LoL.
Wanting to reflect a rebel shot and portrait a fun message. Using flash off camera and high speed sync to freeze motion and droplets in midair.

69th Collection

One of my favorites. Pink on pink. A studio session concept, fashionable with a futuristic style that does not go easily unnoticed.

69th Collection

A picture with lots of character and attitude. No matter what they may say, just do it and go for it. Besides, a bath of nutella a year doesn't hurt.

69th Collection

A nice spring afternoon, taking advantage of the cloudy sky. Worked with natural light only and achieved a super fresh and attractive scene, using an 85mm 1.4 lens to achieve that spectacular bokeh.

69th Collection

A sunny afternoon session taking advantage of the intense light of the sun and working under the shade to achieve softer contrast and at the same time a more enveloping lighting.
