Michelle & Larry | Barcelona photography workshop

A week ago, I held a photography workshop at The Rural, festival for photographers in Santa Susanna, near Barcelona. I met Michelle & Larry on a Saturday, at MAG by el Magnífico, a coffee roasters I love in their neighbourhood, El Born. She was holding the cutest little white ball of fur called Nineta and said "We have a surprise!" and my heart just melted. I met Michelle last year and kept in touch since then. When I was searching for a couple for my workshop, she wrote that her boyfriend Larry and she would love to participate. I knew right away that it is going to be a perfect match for what I wanted to do. I knew the story before I took these photos. I know even more now. And even though it was a workshop session, I still can see this story inside each and every click I made. I am so honoured they shared it with us.

This is what my work is all about. Connection, honesty, showing my clients that photography is a beautiful, creative thing which gives them a value for a lifetime. Value of captured happiness in a single frame. Isn't that priceless?

Your purpose. Your art. Will land in the hearts it's meant to. You won't be for everyone. But you are for someone. And to that someone, what you have to give matters. And that's the beginning of everything.
