This one wasn’t an easy shoot…

A small apartment in Altea Old Town, right next to the church — amazing location, but very tight spaces.

The kitchen in particular was so compact it actually took two separate shoots to get the best result.

But that’s part of the job.

Every property is different, especially in places like Altea where character and charm come with unique layouts.

With the right approach (and a bit of patience), even the smallest spaces can be made to look bright, usable, and inviting.

A quick but important tip if you’re sending photos for restoration or retouching:

Not all image files are equal.

I regularly receive photos that have been unknowingly compressed—from several MB down to just KB—simply from being:

Uploaded to a phone
Sent via email
Downloaded from messaging apps

The biggest issue?
Once that quality is gone, it can’t be fully recovered.

I’ve even seen entire wedding albums lost this way.

If you want the best possible results, always send your original high-resolution files using services like WeTransfer or Dropbox.

I’ve written a full breakdown here:

Why do your photos lose quality after sending? Learn how DPI, resolution, phones, and email compression reduce image quality—and how to send full-resolution photos properly.

Another great day doing what I love 📸

I recently photographed a luxury yacht in Dénia for a Monaco-based broker, shooting at the Real Club Náutico.

Time was tight and the yacht didn’t leave the marina, so it was all about working with the environment and capturing the details, angles, and reflections to create a strong set of images.

It’s jobs like this that really highlight the benefits of being a Costa Blanca Denia photographer—great locations, great clients, and doing what I enjoy most.

’ve been working on a really exciting project in Guadix recently 📸

In collaboration with the town hall and an advertising agency, I’ve been creating immersive 360° photography to help promote tourism in this incredible historic town—famous for its cave houses carved into the landscape.

These interactive images will be part of a new website where visitors can explore Guadix before they even travel there 🌍

I’m also currently working on a series of promotional videos to bring the experience to life even further 🎥

Photo editing has come a long way…

Back in 2018, retouching meant hours of manual work — cloning, healing, adjusting every detail by hand.

Now?

AI can do a lot of it in seconds.

But that doesn’t mean skills don’t matter anymore — in fact, they matter more than ever.

In my latest article, I explain how to:

✔ keep your editing skills up to date
✔ use AI tools properly (without overdoing it)
✔ create natural, professional results
✔ stay competitive in a changing industry

Because great editing isn’t about speed — it’s about judgement.

I recently tested AI photo restoration using ChatGPT — and as a professional retoucher, I wanted to see how it compares to a real-world workflow.

The results? A mix of impressive enhancements… and some serious drawbacks.

From cropped images to subtle (and not-so-subtle) changes in people’s expressions, it highlighted a key issue: AI doesn’t always preserve what matters most.

If you work with old or meaningful photos, this is worth a read 👇

Not all properties are easy to photograph…

I recently worked on a small one-bedroom apartment in Albir, and the biggest challenge wasn’t lighting or styling — it was space.

There simply wasn’t room to use my usual camera setup.

So I tried something different.

Using a 360 camera allowed me to capture the entire space in a way that still looked natural, spacious, and inviting — exactly what’s needed for property listings on the Costa Blanca.

It also saved a huge amount of editing time, which is always a bonus.

If you’re selling or marketing property in Spain, this shows how important it is to adapt — and get the right visuals.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be working on a three-day multi-format content project in Guadix — producing photography, video, and 360° virtual tour content to support a new tourism platform.

Projects like this go far beyond traditional photography.

Working solo across multiple formats means balancing:

• Heritage site restrictions

• Complex lighting conditions

• Tight production timelines

• Consistency across stills, motion, and immersive media

Capturing historic environments while preparing assets for modern digital platforms is always a challenge — but also where the most rewarding work happens.

I’ve shared a behind-the-scenes look at how I approach projects like this, including workflow, challenges, and planning strategies.

If you're working on tourism, hospitality, or destination marketing projects in Spain, I’m always open to collaboration.

I recently experimented with AI photo restoration after writing about my professional workflow—and honestly, the results were mixed.
AI can definitely help with things like reducing grain and improving colour, but I ran into some big problems too:
• It cropped parts of the image
• It changed facial features and expressions
• It didn’t always stay true to the original photo

Wedding photography can be incredibly challenging because there are no second chances if something goes wrong.

As a professional photo editor, I often receive wedding images that need repairing or improving. Over the years I’ve noticed the same problems appearing again and again in the photos photographers send me.

Some of the most common mistakes include:

• Not planning the shoot properly
• Shooting in harsh sunlight
• Not creating a wedding photography shot list
• Shooting only in JPEG instead of RAW
• Not understanding basic photo editing techniques

Many of these issues can be improved with professional retouching, but preventing them during the shoot is always the best solution.

I’ve written a new article explaining the biggest mistakes wedding photographers make and how to avoid them.
