Finally a blog!

Hi there!

Well, it's been a long time since I decided I should create a blog. Unfortunately time has been scarce, and amidst all the websites, photographic communities, etc, I kept postponing the creation of a blog about my photographic work. As such, here it is now!

I guess there is no better way to start than by posting a recent photo I've made a few weeks ago...


"The Call" | Rio Tinto, Spain

"When the light calls, you just need to be there, ready to absorb the photons and capture beauty. This was one of those days."

Photo made in the fantastic landscape of Rio Tinto Mining Park, in Spain. I had spent the weekend in Seville and, when returning home I was looking forward to find good landscapes nearby. As such, following the advice of a friend, I went to Rio Tinto in a hurry, eager to get some good shots. Unfortunately I left Seville late, and there were only about two hours left before sunset. I was almost quitting my search, when I suddenly found this absolutely gorgeous place, which just made my jaw drop! Needless to say I stayed there until it was completely dark, surrounded by hungry mosquitos! But it was worth it...
