Introduction
I am a San Francisco-based fine art photographer (and brand designer) from Barcelona, Spain. Creative, enthusiastic, passionate, collaborative, detail-oriented, offering professional, quality brands and photography for over 23 years. My passion lies in portraiture and landscapes. I aim to capture special moments, people, travel locations, and the outdoors from a nuanced art perspective, where details take priority. When focused on people, I seek to capture authentic portraits in a documentary style. My commitment to my craft is constant. I love bringing out the very best in each individual I shoot. My personal motto captures this sentiment: I try hard to get people to be themselves—authentic and natural. My mission is to tell stories that speak to the essence of each human I photograph. Making it matter is essential to my craft, and capturing genuine emotions is paramount. Before taking on any project, I always ask myself why I am doing it, whether it will make a difference, and what it means to me and the observer. Answering these questions enables me to deliver something unique and self-inspired. When photographing the outdoors, I observe nature to find unique landscapes that inspire emotions and a sense of timelessness. Similarly, when photographing travel locations, I aim to capture the mood of the place and the people who make up its culture in a documentary style.

I had the pleasure of working with Raquel for my mom’s 70th birthday. Raquel is a delight , extremely professional and wonderful to work with. She makes you feel comfortable. She met us in our home and took beautiful photos of my mom and I. Everything from communication to editing the photos went smoothly. I highly recommend Raquel to capture your most memorable moments:)

Only ONE photographer I have ever worked with; who brings creative energy; professional enthusiasm, and such a novel and aesthetic approach to capturing photos for me.  As a professional bodybuilding athlete, the time it takes to cultivate a physique that is balanced. It’s a lifestyle to continue to sculpt and shape the human body. As a photographer, Raquel understands how to both capture the hard work it takes to create muscular femininity — with tastefulness and artistry. Raquel found the perfect, natural outdoor settings to capture the look of strength and power with softness and grace.  Thank you Raquel for your energetic and positive attitude, for your attention to detail; and light — while always helping me show my best self and my hard work!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience working with Raquel for my daughter's modeling portfolio. From our very first Zoom meeting, it was clear that she was not only a talented photographer but also an incredible guide throughout the entire process. Raquel provided expert advice at every stage, ensuring that my daughter felt confident and comfortable in front of the camera. Her professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were evident in every shot. She didn’t just take pictures—she captured my daughter at her absolute best, bringing out her personality and potential in a way that exceeded our expectations. The final images were nothing short of stunning, and my wife and daughter were beyond thrilled with the results. Choosing Raquel was easily one of the best decisions we made, and I couldn't be prouder of how everything turned out. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly skilled but also a joy to work with, look no further than Raquel. She is a true artist, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of top-tier photography!
