Reason loves...

...Emotion. As reads the title of this post, this equation was the slogan for the new image of the previously mentioned Agency Cul de Sac in Valencia.
They wanted a picture that will go with the new slogan of the company, and after much thinking, this is the result.
Design plus nature, reason and emotion. I also wanted that when looking at the picture you want to keep your eye on it...just in case something else happened, and that the person that is looking at it, could feel for a second, the pause that creates tension.
I want to thank my dear friend Christian , for been with me and help me during this shooting . It would have been impossible to work under the windy stormy weather!

Three little owls

During my staying in Valencia, I have rediscover my own style to illustrate, I still love the minimalistic drawings,  watercolours and children motives, but I have to confess that i feel much confortable in the black and white field, and even the style reminds on the naive line, it gets a bit more complicated, and elaborated. I still draw children, ( I will post, in some point, some of them)...but today I want to share with you a serie of owls that I did some time ago, and from where this adventure starts. Is kind of contradictory, how  black and white photos are not calling me later...but in the other hand, with a black pen in my hand i get really inspired....Hope you like them!

Valencian Design

Bit late to post this one work, but i wanted to shared it with you all. Last year I had the honour to photograph , some products of a  furniture company, based in Valencia, Spain, Koo International.
Art directing this project was the very talented people of CuldeSac, a fantastic and several times awarded advertising company, from the same city. Really, it was a great pleasure!

Lucia Novias

"This one is gonna be good one!", this is what it came to my mind when the Lucia Novias collection started their show at the Party and Wedding Fair. The most amazing dresses I have seen in a while,  one after the other, the creations were really spectacular!. Ernesto de Sostoa, from the "Gremio de sastres y modistas" qualifies the collecton as "excellent, very classic and elaborated". Also I have to add that the models did a great job, very professionals, unbelievable beautiful and giving everything in every step.

An other fantastic example of the greatness of the Valencian Design. You can find Lucia Novias at C/ En Sanz 12, Valencia. 

Mompó

I give you today the second post from the Weedding and party fair. This time is Mompo. The beauty of his work goes beyond the imagination.
"King of the volumes, His collection surprises againg with the impossible volumes, and the architectonical use of the fabrics". (Ernesto de Sostoa comments about his colleague). I could´t describe it any better.

Valentin Herraiz

25 to 27 of November we had the opportunity to enjoy at the Valencia Fair , The Wedding and Party fair.
What I was waiting the most, was to get to see all the custom designs, that the very talented designers that Spain, and Valencia specially, had to offer. Not disappointed at all,  the show was amazing ..lovely dresses, textures, fabrics, colours...it was just great!
The Gremio de sastres y modistas of Valencia has been one of the "must to visit spot", and many of the shows (that I will post bit by bit in my blog), belong to this Gremio. Indeed very talented and creative people.
The first I want to share with you  is Valentin Herraiz´s collection. Ernesto de Sostoa mentions about his colleague: " Our great Valentin, the master, shows againg the Glamour of the city of Valencia, dresses full of style, sobriety, elegancy and exquisiteness."

Also was my first proper experience as a fashion show photographer, and I must say that I will do it thousands times more.

Stay around, much more to come! (Mompo, Ernesto de Sostoa, Lucia Novias...)
