Hello friends, how are you?

I hope everything goes as best as possible.

Welcome to another chapter.

We are still a little behind because, well,

you know, last weekend we had a wedding,

everything came out of the blue, the flight

was great, well, we had to do another

test there because they did not trust us

despite the fact that we had the papers

and all these things, and well, this week

we have tried, in quotation marks, to return

to the routine as always, I mean, the

routine that we have complained about so many

times, in which it is about editing photos,

mailing and all these things, and the truth

is that, well, we miss getting up every

morning, editing, selecting photos and all these things,

and well, in fact, you can see my

face, I mean, even tomorrow we go back

to the wedding, and well, I think that

this weekend's wedding, well, from now on, I

mean, from tomorrow on, it will be the

opposite of what we had in Austria.

In Austria, well, no one wore masks, neither

at the wedding nor in the country.

Of course, I tell you this because if

you are not from Spain, you should know

that here in Spain, for months now, everyone

must wear masks, everyone must be very careful,

and even with everything, well, it is messing

up in our country, without knowing how or

why.

We are almost the worst country in the

world today, at the time of counting.

I hope, well, this is not a video

to talk to you about medicine, because as

you know, I have no fucking idea about

medicine, and the only thing I know how

to do a little bit is take photos,

so we are going to get into that.

Little things, today's video is not going to

be, or is not dedicated to talking to

you about the previous weekend's wedding, because we

want to wait to reveal all the photos,

edit all the photos, sorry, and once we

have everything done, in addition to the videos

that we were recording, well, we will mount

a video in conditions, or several, in which,

well, we will tell you how everything was,

right?

But in today's video we want to talk

to you about the last pre-wedding we

did, a little while ago, and it was

on the beach, right?

And what this video, or the way we

want to do it to explain to you

how we work pre-wedding, is as follows,

right?

What we are going to do, as it

is going to be a video, or as

it looks like it is going to be

a very long video, what we are going

to do is to divide it, as we

have ever done, to make the video in

two parts, in which we want to show

you first, or tell a little bit of

the story, right?

How the pre-wedding was organized, how we

work it, and we are also going to

show you the full gallery of the couple,

so that you can see a little bit,

that is, what we deliver, and in fact

that will help us a little bit to

explain things, right?

So, in today's video we are going to

tell you a little bit about the history

of the pre-wedding, how we work it,

where the ideas came from, the why, super

important, of the location, and we will show

you a video off camera, of several photos.

In the next video, I mean, we will

make a video off camera, okay?

So, we are going to start with the

first one, and I will tell you, okay?

The couple hires us for a pre-wedding,

and the story is that the couple has

a little flat, a small apartment, near the

beach, specifically in Tarragona, in the south of

Catalonia, very close to Barcelona, but the girlfriend

tells me that the pre-wedding, they would

like to do it on the beach.

Of course, I am no one to take

away the illusions from any couple, if the

couple wants to go to the beach, and

on top of that he hires you, how

are you going to tell him no, right?

But of course, if I am telling you

this, it is because you will have already

heard that I, on the beach, I feel

helpless, I mean, I hardly have creative resources,

and once I have photographed the three resources

that the beach has for me, I mean,

sand, sea, and the sky, or the horizon,

I run out of ideas.

In addition, there was another small drawback, right?

That the girlfriend wanted photos on the beach,

or the boyfriends wanted photos on the beach,

but the beach in summer is full of

people, with which, well, I talked to, well,

I talked to Julia, and I told her,

look, Julia, I love your idea, that is,

I find it very, very interesting that we

go to the beach, of course, that was

not entirely true, but we have to think,

right?

That if the session, well, we do it

in the afternoon, it is more than likely

that the beach will still be with people

still lying on the towel, there drinking something,

with which never, or very few times, because

there will be a game, or a clean

photograph, in which you can walk calmly on

the beach, and that in front of you,

or well behind you, there are no people

walking, with which we were there with a

story.

What I thought, at the same time that

I was talking to her, is that, that

is, we could do the session on the

beach, of course, but near, or next to

a small Mediterranean town, I mean, if I'm

not from Spain, I should tell you that,

not always, but in some parts of the

Mediterranean, there are small picturesque towns, which are

super beautiful, which is the typical white town,

super careful, super idyllic, and so with that,

I mean, I could shoot photos on the

beach, and also, after the beach, so that

the boyfriends, well, had their photos, we could

get lost a little in those little towns,

or in that town in question, so I

proposed to the bride to do the session

in Roda de Vará, and Roda de Vará

is a small Mediterranean town, white, in which

it has a multitude of resources, and it

has a couple of beaches, as well as

a kind of dock, in addition to a

small port, in which it will serve me

a little, first, to play in the dock,

because surely, well, I scratched something from there,

in addition to what is the little town,

which is all full of, well, of little

streets that enter and leave, if I say

a town, it means a town that will

live 100 people, 200 maximum people, that is,

with which you think that it is something

very, very reduced, that is, well, do not

think that it is a town with a

multitude of resources and such, although it is

true that Roda de Vará has, well, a

multitude of resources, because I had already visited

it, well, in the past, throughout the last

few years, three or four times to do

sessions, and also, Erika's parents have a little

flat, they have a very small apartment there,

with which, well, we have spent the summer

several times, and in fact, when we started

dating Erika, well, we lost, well, a multitude

of weekends there, so it was something that

I had controlled and such, but of course,

now comes another part, no, that is, in

what part of the day, no, in what

part of the day we would have to

do that session, and honestly, I told the

girlfriend that, that is, what better than doing

the session early in the morning, I mean,

the sun was rising at that of six

and a half in the morning, well, at

6 and 40 start the session, with two

balls, because, because that way I knew for

sure that there would be no one, I

knew for sure that the atmosphere would be

super clean, the light would be very clean,

and why not play with the dawn, I

had already seen some work from a colleague

like Fran Butunet, in which he had seen

that he had got up to do some

post-wedding, well, well, at dawn, with which,

why not, no, I mean, I told the

girlfriend, and I invited her, no, as if

saying, hey, it would be great if we

did it, well, at dawn, so we already

do the session from six and a half,

more or less, to nine and a half,

maximum ten, and we get rid of all

the people, with which, well, the girlfriend, well,

she said yes, well, if I talk about

the girlfriend, I mean, well, about the couple,

well, she said yes, that she thought it

was a very, very brilliant idea, I told

her, well, above all, no, that they would

have to, well, that they would have to,

well, to put on makeup, or she specifically

said that they would have to put on

makeup super early in the morning, but I

told them, and I promised them that, well,

that it was going to be worth it,

that surely there would be very, very interesting

photos, and so it was, so now, well,

what I'm going to do, well, I'm going

to show you around the gallery, well, so

that you can see a little bit, well,

what the whole visual tour was like, and

then, at the end, well, yes, we will

get into a, well, with a couple of

examples, so that you can see, well, an

off-camera, okay?

Okay, well, well, I mean, as I was

telling you, well, I'm going to show you

the gallery, this gallery, I don't know if,

I mean, if you know, well, the Peak

Time program, okay?

It is a program with which I work,

I have been working for at least a

year now, and the truth is that it

is perfect for me, that is, it is

a perfect program, I used to work with

Pixyset, but it seemed to me, in some

cases, a bit rudimentary, okay?

And the fact is that I started working

with Peak Time, as I told you, a

year ago, and, well, it has things as

interesting as you can see the number of

times your photos are downloaded, the visualizations, the

times that the girlfriend shares it, there is

even a virtual store, I don't know, I

don't know, but there is something that makes

it much easier for us than Pixyset, and

in fact, over time, well, they have appointed

me as an ambassador, okay?

Of what the brand is, and well, if

you like it and if you want to

get involved with them, then write to me,

because I can give you a small discount,

okay?

I mean, I don't know if it's 15

or 20 percent, but well, just write to

me and it would happen, okay?

But really, I mean, like Peak Time is

a tool that has made everything quite easy

for us, and well, I mean, let's go

through the gallery, okay?

Well, I mean, as you are seeing, the

first photo with which we started, you see

that the sun had not even risen yet,

and it was as always, right?

It is a very basic photo, simply to,

well, what it is to break the ice,

and to know a little bit about the

couple, right?

How was he going to pose, and well,

if he was very, very nervous, so I

break everything a little bit, and you see

that I even shoot vertically, right?

Which is something super strange to me, and

well, you are seeing that first I started

shooting a little bit with photos, as you

are seeing, something, something basic, but I always

start doing basic things, mainly to break the

ice, and also to get used to them,

right?

To feel a little bit, well, in a

way, comfortable, and that is something that I

always say, right?

That I do not start from minute one

and taking beautiful photos, but I need a

little bit, well, to set up a roll

with the couple, she also with me, right?

Like it has to be, like it has

to be something reciprocal, in which they, and

what we too, well, we are all there

together, right?

So that it seems something interesting, so that

we create something interesting, right?

And well, we already started shooting with this,

you see that the sun had not yet

risen, and well, in this case, well, we

play with a led, in which, well, I

mean, I told Erika, that in this case,

that she would help me, well, to put

a little bit on the left, well, for

lighting, I knew that, well, that the sky

was still, well, at a cold color temperature,

that is, therefore, well, we put a led

there at a warm color temperature, so that,

well, so that this would come out, right?

Well, you are already seeing it, okay?

We went, of course, I have to show

it to you, it is a super basic

photograph, but here I was working for my

clients, for my partner, right?

I mean, she, or they wanted this, they

wanted to feel a little bit how it

is to walk on the beach and all

these stories, I have already told you, I

have to work for the partner always, right?

Also, so this, and here I already started

a little, picking up for home, right?

Well, especially in this photo, okay?

At very slow speeds, but the one I

like, and it may be a little crazy,

right?

It is this image, right?

It is that the truth, we may like

it, but I love it, right?

It looks like a painting by Joaquín Sorolla,

okay?

I don't know if you knew the painter

Joaquín Sorolla well, but if you don't know

him, I invite you, please, he is one

of my favorite painters, he painted the Mediterranean

like no one else, and well, this, well,

it reminds me a little of him, right?

Okay, and well, the sun is starting to

come out, and as you are seeing, I

am already starting to play with the couple,

I tell them to stand there, in this

case I started working with 1.8 diaphragms,

I remember, okay?

And I started doing little things like this,

I prefer this to the previous one, right?

And well, once we had this, I remember

that we even went to the port area,

okay?

Because from beach to beach, first we started

by shooting these, the ones I have taught

you, okay?

Quickly, when I saw that the sun was

already starting to rise, I left the beach

and the port is right next door, okay?

I was a few meters away and I

started playing with more linear structures and we

got into this part of the breakwaters, okay?

To start doing little things like the ones

you are seeing, okay?

I like this one, this one too.

And once we already played with what was

the whole area of ​​the breakwaters, once we

already believed that we already had enough material,

we simply went to a nearby beach, that

is, first we started with something super basic

and this, as you have already heard a

lot of times, right?

We always tend to start in a very

basic way to build that image little by

little, right?

From something basic like what you are seeing

now, there little by little it would grow

a little and notice that finally we ended

up in this, that this is already starting

to seem really interesting to me, okay?

In which we try to play with the

super clean background and above all, not with

the figures.

Notice that while I was doing this, okay?

Erika was doing this one here, right?

And I later, well, as I already changed,

right?

And it seemed to me as if it

were a Mexican hat, this here, so we

started pulling.

Notice that this is closer to my style,

as I have told you, or what photographically

attracts me the most, right?

But hey, they were super happy and the

truth is that there is something fundamental, right?

That, that is, Erika has always told me

this as a multitude of times, right?

We don't just take pictures, we are creating

experiences for the couple and we have to

embroider that perfectly for them.

If I am talking to you about experience,

it is because of the fact that the

couple has to feel that they are having

a fucking great time, they are living something

unique.

And the story is that this girl is

a very, very important doctor in a hospital

and she had been working like, well, on

the subject of the coronavirus, right?

Well, she had been working like four months

in which she had not stopped, that is,

she had not stopped.

They are going to get married, in theory,

in the month of October, that is, the

following month.

And what, and how beautiful it was, that

is, she told me, right?

How beautiful it is to organize a wedding,

it was turning into hell.

And for them, this session was, again, to

resume the wedding experience.

And I saw them at all times super

caramelized, it was noticeable that they were enjoying

the damn session, that is, and I saw

them, that is, how you see them, that

is, they laughed, that they were connected, that

is, as they crossed their gazes.

Enjoy the moment, that is, hug them, come

and laugh, right?

And it was the result, this one, right?

I mean, photographically it doesn't attract me, but,

well, as an experience, right?

As a moment, well, yes, and surely they

remember this moment, right?

Notice that when they were already, for example,

hugged, I went behind them, that is, right

behind them, and I already captured this moment.

And taking advantage of the beauty of the

sky and the beauty of the light, because

the light, the sun had risen at just

one hour, it was a super clean light,

and I asked them this, right?

That, well, to hold on for a moment

for the wedding ring, and that they were

playing.

Of course, a photo for their parents.

Because, that is, the experience with some Spanish

couples tells me that, at some weddings, the

couple usually gives away, that is, a photo

of the couple, no more, as a gift

during the day of the wedding, to their

parents, right?

And always, whenever I have a pre-wedding,

I force myself to take a photo for

the parents, something super basic, that they look

at the camera, that they laugh, everything with

good light, I mean, super basic, but I

think it's interesting too, okay?

And since I was there, well, of course,

I played with something else, with very low

lights, I don't know what, playing with my

hands, something softer, okay?

Now we are going to one of the

photos that I think is the most interesting.

I'm not going to dwell on this much,

because the off-camera, well, we are going

to tell you perfectly how we did it,

how we worked, where the idea came from,

and all that, so I don't want to

waste time on it now, okay?

And then we did little things, like the

ones you are seeing now, from this to

this, something more classic like this, something more

like this, okay?

And then we went to a very crazy

part, which, as I tell you, I will

also explain it to you in the off

-camera video, okay?

And this one, mainly, I like it, both

this one and this one, which I think

is Erika's, and this one.

This thing is that I like it, there

is only like a leg, there is only

that, right?

It seems that the why disappears, and above

all, those arches, that light, all that, well,

it catches me a lot, right?

And well, the boy was a lover of

cars, in fact, they have this super car,

I don't know how to say it, well,

make-up, super, like that, with little things

and with super crazy details, and he told

me that if we could do one with

him.

What you are seeing is the port area,

okay?

And finally, well, we finished with this one,

which you are also going to see in

a video, okay?

So that you can see how simple it

is to do a little thing like this,

and well, I will show it to you,

okay?

Okay, friends, what I wanted to do now

a little bit, well, take advantage of it,

and well, in the meantime, to describe a

couple of images in which, well, you are

going to see a little bit, well, that

we recorded ourselves, or that they were recorded,

well, with the GoPro, so that you can

see a little bit, right?

How was the off-camera, okay?

Okay, first of all, I would like to

tell you about this image, which is the

image that you are seeing now, with what

are the wooden umbrellas, and here I thought,

right?

That it could seem interesting, that is, to

place the couple playing with space, right?

I mean, with the umbrellas, in which, because

of the umbrellas, you see that there was

a repetition, there were quite a few, with

which, well, I decided, I could play with

the couple, placing it as you are seeing

now, and what I could ask them, right?

That they simply separate from what was the

central structure of the umbrella, and just play,

right?

With what was the neutral background of the

sky, which was going to help me a

lot, and above all, with the repetition, right?

That is, with the repetition of the umbrellas,

that is, notice that I am again, right?

That is, playing with the, that is, with

the directors that I love to play, which

are clean backgrounds, as in this case the

sky, and then with the repetition of elements,

as would be the case with the umbrellas,

and I was already playing, right?

That is, both approaching me, as well as

moving away, and I even put them in

the same circle, as you are seeing, that

is, for example, with the umbrella, right?

To see if it was better to place

the couple in the same, that is, together,

in the same space, or I could place

them, for example, separated, right?

That is, Erika also played with the photo

that you are seeing now, this image, for

example, hers, in which the mast or the

stick of the same umbrella, that is, part,

because the scene in two, and notice that

a boyfriend looks to one side, and notice

that the other looks to the other, right?

With which there is a very interesting game.

There we invested a lot of time, and

what we were playing, right?

That is, how could we get something interesting

out of it.

The only thing that did not end, or

that made the whole double complex, was that

many umbrellas had hammocks hanging, and of course,

that is, having a whole set of umbrellas,

that is, as such, only the clean umbrella,

it was a little complicated to find, that

is why, until we finally found this angle,

it took us a long time.

If we had had all the clean umbrellas,

that is, without any hammock and without anything,

we would have played with a much more

open shot, but as you are seeing, it

is complicated, right?

And to finish, I would like to show

you this image, you see that I have

repeated this pattern over and over again, and

I promise that at least for a while

I will leave it without using it, because,

well, without repeating itself, you already know that

I think there is nothing worse than a

photographer who copies himself, right?

Or that he is using the same pattern,

as in my case now, a long time

ago, right?

Well, last year I used it, and this

year too, but in the end it is

that, right?

When one uses the same pattern constantly, or

even if he does it once a year,

it is so evident that in the end

you can stop being surprised, right?

And I myself am not my worst judge,

so that's it, right?

You see that, well, that is, the image

always goes, that is, you have to understand

how the lights play, how shadows play, we

always have to understand that if we raise

a hand, if we lower it, a hand

will be in light, if we raise it

or move it, it will be in shadow.

It is simply to understand it, and it

is simply to play, that is, it may

seem that when you see the image alone

as such, it is a little complex, or

it is complicated, for example, to understand, but

once you understand the pattern, or you understand

how lights and shadows play, it is really

very, very simple, right?

So, well, as you are seeing now, I

was simply inviting the girlfriend to move to

one side, the boyfriend to move to the

other, and finally I played with the ring,

because, of course, the first idea was just

to play with my hands, but I already

realized that I had already done that, not

with that couple, but with another one a

year ago, so I tried to add an

element that seemed a little more differentiating, perhaps,

but hey, I don't know if I finally

got it, so that's it, finally I did

this and that's it, so nothing else, friends,

so far everything is good, the next chapter,

as I tell you, is going to be

all an off-camera, in which we will

show you several examples, how we work them,

and well, finally, how we get out with

all this, okay?

Forward, so nothing else, colleagues, see you very

soon, take care, be good.
