Hola,

I’m dau

I’m here to help you see yourself as you actually are: beautiful, real, and full of story.

If you’ve made it this far, you’re probably looking for more than “just photos.” You want images that feel real. That represent you. That say something deeper than a pose.

Maybe you’ve felt like you look “off” in photos, or you never know what to do with your hands. Maybe posing feels stiff or awkward. Or maybe you just want beautiful photos that also have soul.

If any of that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

How it started

I got my first camera at six years old, and even then I understood something that still guides me today: a photograph can hold a feeling that words can’t reach.

I think part of why I hold onto that so tightly is that I don’t have many photos of my own childhood: a handful from when I was born, my first birthday, a few more that were saved along the way. And I don’t have a single photo with my grandmother. Out of everyone in my family, I’m the only one who doesn’t. It’s something I still think about. I never want anyone else to reach adulthood and feel that same gap: a moment that mattered, and nothing left to hold onto from it.

That’s the quiet reason behind everything I do now.

I’ve worked as a photographer for over 15 years, trained at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York, and while I’ve lived and shot in different places, Seville is the city that changed how I see. Its light, its slower rhythm, its colour and its energy taught me to shoot from feeling, not from perfection.

What I do (and why it’s different)

Today I work with individuals, couples, families, entrepreneurs, and travellers to create portraits with intention.

I’m not just working with how you look. I’m working with how you feel in front of the camera.

My sessions aren’t a rushed “smile and done.” They’re a space where you can relax, laugh, move, and just be yourself. I guide you through it, and together we create something that becomes a memory you’ll actually keep, not just a file on a phone.

A little more about me

  • I love dogs. A lot. And good food, almost as much.
  • Travelling is my favourite thing: London and New York have my heart.
  • I believe in things made with intention.
  • I paint, embroider, and alter my own photographs: I think memories deserve to exist beyond a screen.
  • My mum joins me on most sessions, and together we create a family atmosphere.

I’m here to help you see yourself with more kindness, live inside your own story, and hold on to the moments that actually matter.

If this way of creating resonates with you, I’d love to walk this process with you.

If you’re here, it’s not by accident
