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!

I contacted Raquel for a photo shoot. She was very proactive and listened to my needs and desires, and prepared a comprehensive quote that addressed everything important. Unfortunately, I got sick the week of our scheduled shoot, and was not able to move forward, as I live out of state. I do, however, highly recommend Raquel and will reach out to her again the next time in Northern California.

Details: Solo portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Raquel is a very experienced photographer and the entire experience, start to finish, was great! Our session wrapped in 1 hour with good direction on posing, adjusting lights, etc. Responsive, flexible, and quick turn around with SO MANY great professional shots to choose from - highly recommend!
