About Me
The photographer behind the photos: how and why I work this way
I’m Lupo, a photographer based on Mallorca. The island is woven into almost everything I shoot — between Palma, the Serra de Tramuntana and the coastal villages. Before committing fully to documentary photography, I spent years behind the camera learning through practice — friends’ weddings, spontaneous portraits, food photos for small local businesses — until it became clear that what I was actually good at wasn’t “taking pretty pictures” but telling the truth of what was happening in front of me, without forcing it.
My style is casual, natural and documentary. That means you won’t find stiff poses or artificial setups in my portfolio. I’d rather you walk, talk, laugh with your partner or your family, and let me capture that as it happens. The result is clean, bright, honest images — the kind of photos that still tell the truth of that day five years later.
Why I work well with German and international clients
A large part of my clients come from Germany, and another good part from other European countries. I know what it’s like to book someone remotely, without meeting them in person, based only on photos and a few messages. That’s why I pay special attention to three things I know matter to you:
- Languages. I communicate fluently in English and Spanish, and I regularly work with German-speaking clients — I understand German easily and can make myself understood well, so language is never a barrier when planning your session.
- Punctuality. I show up when we agreed. If the session starts at 6pm, I’m there at 6pm, gear ready. On a day as important as a wedding or an elopement, you can’t afford to wait around for a photographer who’s running late.
- Fast delivery. I won’t make you wait weeks to see your photos. You get a quick preview selection within a few days, and the rest of the gallery within a clear timeframe we agree on upfront.
My philosophy
I believe the best photos aren’t directed, they’re observed. My job is to be in the right place with the right light and let people be themselves. That doesn’t mean there’s no direction at all — for weddings and portraits I do guide the composition gently and look for the best light — but always from a place of naturalness, never the stiffness of a catalogue shoot.
How I work
Every project starts with a conversation over WhatsApp or email to understand what you need: type of session, location, number of people, timing, and any special details. From there I suggest times and locations based on the day’s light — I usually prefer early morning or sunset, when Mallorca’s light is softest and most golden.
On the day of the session I work discreetly, moving among people without interrupting the moment. Afterward, I do a first selection and edit within a few days (for weddings, a preview is usually ready within 3–5 business days), and the fully edited gallery arrives within the agreed timeframe — typically 1–3 weeks depending on the type of session.
Off camera
When I’m not shooting, I keep exploring the island — new coves, mountain trails, villages I don’t know well yet. That curiosity is what lets me keep suggesting fresh locations for your session instead of repeating the same backdrop every time.
If reading this makes you feel like we’d be a good fit, the next step is simple: message me on WhatsApp, tell me what you have in mind, and we’ll talk dates, location and availability.
