Claudia, Localgrapher in Madrid

Style:

As a photographer, my style is rooted in a warm, documentary approach that captures the real, joyful moments of life. Whether it’s a family, couple, or solo shoot, I focus on natural, unposed interactions, giving gentle direction to enhance the beauty of the surroundings. I especially love photographing families—kids bring an incredible energy that inspires authentic joy and connection in their parents. My goal is to create timeless images that reflect genuine emotions and the unique charm of the city we’re exploring together.

Likes:

I’m deeply passionate about photography and travelling, and there’s nothing I love more than exploring new surroundings with my camera in hand. My favorite moments are early in the morning before the world wakes up, or at the quiet end of the day, capturing the serenity of the city. This alone time with my camera is my sacred therapy, allowing me to connect deeply with the places I live and visit. Aside from photography, I cherish my routines—especially starting the day with a cup of Earl Grey with milk. It’s the simple pleasures that keep me grounded and inspired.

Recommended places:

Madrid is, without a doubt, the coolest city in the world—a perfect blend of tradition and modernity. The streets are adorned with beautifully colored buildings that exude timeless charm, inviting you to get lost in their stories. For an authentic, off-the-beaten-path experience, I recommend strolling through neighborhoods like La Latina and Malasaña, where you can immerse yourself in local culture, discover eclectic shops, and enjoy vibrant street life that truly captures Madrid’s spirit.

When you’re looking for a peaceful escape within the city, Retiro Park is the ideal sanctuary. This lush, expansive park offers serene pathways, tranquil lakes, and picturesque spots perfect for unwinding and reflecting. Whether you’re seeking the lively energy of Madrid’s streets or a quiet moment amidst nature, this city offers endless delights that make every visit unforgettable.
