  • Storck Ibérica

    Storck Ibérica Another pre-covid interiors shoot I have come across buried away in a folder. I remember this job in part because I was able to get there on the tram; pretty much to the end of the line (Sant Just Desvern). It’s a nice way to travel, a good half-hour of staring out the…

    Grace Farms; Old fashioned Liberalism Reclining in New Canaan

    One day we took a trip out of NYC to visit Grace Farms, located in the very biblical sounding New Canaan. Grand Central Station was impressive and as always manic; the train journey not. A lot of people complain about the service in the US but I like it and starting from Grand Central is…

    Carlo Scarpa, the Most Famous Architect You Never Heard Of?

    I had never heard of Carlo Scarpa until I started planning a trip to Italy with my girlfriend, an architect from NYC. She is a big fan of his work. Am I just being lazy? For sure. However, it’s also true that I just don’t have much patience for all verbiage that gets written or…

  • Dar Roumana, a Gem Hidden in a Labyrinth

    Dar Roumana: A Hidden Gem in the Ancient Labyrinth of Fez

    Discovering Morocco’s Cultural Heart Dar Roumana sits nestled within the historic Medina of Fez, a stark contrast to my previous Moroccan experience. My first visit to this North African kingdom was for work in Casablanca, collaborating with Harvard University, which you can read about here. That bustling metropolis left me somewhat underwhelmed—noisy, polluted, and largely…

  • Photographing Warehouses and Workers for Bunzl

    These jobs came via a UK based agency called AAB Design. The first job was for Bunzl. Their warehouse and offices are near El Prat Airport, I was there to photograph the space and the workers. The second time was maybe 2 years later, near Cabrera de Mar. The company was Cemelin and Bunzl had recently…

    City Light; Those Magic Hours When You Can Take Your Studio to the Streets

    I would like to take the idea of ‘Magic Hour‘ and turn it into Magic Hours. Maybe ironically, what I am suggesting might fly in the face of something sacred to many; that moment when the natural light is just perfect (and alas fleeting) for beautifully lit portraits. My magic hours are when the natural light, by chance…

    Linear Curves; How Making Your Images Look Really Dull Might Be the Way to Go

  • Homage to Catalonia? A Touch of Gaudí in Texas

    A Wedding and a Creative Project I was in Texas for a wedding shoot when I got the chance to photograph a house that Zack, the groom, designed and built. Over a week, I captured images for a book about the house. While I mostly focus on people, I enjoy architectural photography. It’s a change…

  • Barcelona Apartments & Interiors: Why Great Photography Beats “Free Crap” Every Time

    There’s a particular zen to interior photography that I’ve come to crave. After one too many shoots with temperamental models or demanding clients, the silent precision of shooting apartments becomes my therapy. No forced smiles, no wardrobe malfunctions – just pure geometry and the patient observation of light. These images were created in a whirlwind…

  • Abandoned Mansion Photoshoot: The Girl in the Governor’s Tower

    The Girl in the Governor’s Tower Abandoned mansion photoshoot, El Torre Del Gobernador is the kind of place that shouldn’t exist—a crumbling, over-the-top mansion near Barcelona, dripping with faded grandeur. Think Disneyland meets derelict opera house, all turrets and peeling frescoes. It’s here I photographed Mad, my gloriously chaotic muse—artist, DJ, and professional wildcard. A…

  • Barcelona Landmark Photography: A Photographer’s Perspective on Sagrada Familia

    Behind the Scenes of Editorial Photography Assignments This shoot was commissioned for an article in Metropolitan magazine—one of those typical editorial assignments where you’re given minimal context. I knew nothing about the story angle, had never met the subject, and had no prior contact with the writer. It’s a common scenario in editorial photography that…

  • Argentina: A Return to Chacarita Cemetery

    Buenos Aires: Lost Focus, Found Cemeteries I returned to Buenos Aires this April after four years away. I brought a heavy camera bag, good intentions, and a vague plan to find work. I also got lucky with the light—every time I took out the DSLR, the weather seemed to show up for me. Despite packing…

  • An Afternoon on Montjuïc: Light, Silence, and a Book on the Grass

    Fleeing the Jackhammers (To Find the Perfect Patch of Grass) Some genius decided a national holiday was prime time to rip up the pavement below my flat—the kind of civic logic that makes one question democracy. So I fled to Montjuïc, where Barcelona’s chaos dissolves into slopes of pine and, miraculously, actual grass. Not the…

  • An Evening in Gatwick: Airports, Pod Hotels, and Accidental Stillness

    In Transit, Slightly Lost, and Mildly Inspired I was heading to Tobago to be best man at a wedding. The plan seemed simple—fly from Barcelona, change at Gatwick, then straight on. But travel rarely sticks to the plan, and I found myself with an unplanned overnight layover in South Terminal. The groom, Andy, suggested the…

    Architectural Photography in New York: Inside Ogilvy’s Historic Hell’s Kitchen Building

    Gaining Access to Exclusive Commercial Spaces I was fortunate to gain access to the Ogilvy building in Hell’s Kitchen through my friendship with Yeesan—a rare opportunity to photograph this converted chocolate factory near the Hudson River. These personal connections often provide photographers with access to spaces typically closed to the public, creating unique portfolio opportunities.…

  • Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn: Moody Light, Silent Statues, and Stray Thoughts

    Gothic Vibes in the Middle of Brooklyn Day three in New York and, mercifully, the weather had improved. Saturday was sunny and crisp, a welcome shift from Friday’s bone-cutting cold the day I landed. Sunday, however, turned theatrical — heavy skies, colder air, and just the right mood for cemetery wandering. Conveniently, Greenwood Cemetery was…

    Architecture Photography: El Prat, Terminal 1

    A Special Moment Before Takeoff I was on my way to New York, and even though most flights are routine, there’s something special about flying from a new, sparkling airport. El Prat’s Terminal 1, at dawn, was especially exciting. However, I couldn’t help but laugh at the name. It’s not exactly what I’d call a…

  • Airport Architecture

    Capturing the Calm Chaos of Airport Architecture

    Modern Spaces, Quiet Light, and Mild Suspicion Airports are strange hybrids — equal parts movement and waiting, stress and stillness. But photographically? They’re gold. Modern airports tend to offer sweeping spaces, clever use of light, and more glass than a tech company HQ. I love photographing them. Unfortunately, doing so without attracting attention from security…

  • The Forum, Barcelona: A Reluctant Photographer’s Redemption

    Ah, The Forum—Barcelona’s giant, blue, triangular… thing. I’d been here before, snapped it to death, and mentally filed it under “Done.” But Naomi, my ever-patient student, needed convincing that modern architecture wasn’t just “cold, soulless geometry.” (Her words, not mine. Mostly.) After weeks of theory, flash portraits, and her suspicious side-eyes, she actually suggested we…

  • Modern Architecture in Poblenou: Barcelona’s Sleek and Brutal Facades

    I shot these images for a story about Barcelona’s modern architecture, focusing on how the inclusion of traditional elements like balconies has largely disappeared. Today, the facades of most buildings are sleek, minimalist, and, at times, downright brutal. The editor requested shots that captured buildings looking “knife-like and stabbing at the sky,” which was a…

  • Industrial Photography at the Forum with Barcelona Raw

    This was the 4th excursion for the group Barcelona Raw, which I set up the beginning of 2009. We decided to return to something more industrial and brutal after our trip to Montjuic where we messed around doing portrait shots. We arrived just as the rain was easing off but it would keep returning sporadically throughout the afternoon.…

  • Desalination Plant, Barcelona

    Environmental Photography: Inside Barcelona’s Desalination Plant

    Heavy Industry Meets Modern ArchitectureAs part of a story on environmental issues, I was assigned to photograph the new desalination plant near the Llobregat River. I was genuinely excited—big machinery and sleek industrial architecture are right up my street. Dust, Wind, and Primary ColoursThe plant itself is visually striking, with bright primary colours marking out…

  • Liceu Opera House: Exploring Barcelona’s Most Haunted Historic Buildings

    Architectural Photography of Mysterious Locations These photographs were captured as part of a specialized editorial series documenting Barcelona’s reportedly haunted locations. The project offered a fascinating intersection between architectural photography and local folklore, allowing me to document spaces rarely accessible to the public or casual photographers. Barcelona’s historic buildings hold countless stories within their ancient…
