A playful ode to weekend mornings in the late 90s and early 2000s. Created in collaboration with a food stylist, this series explores the nostalgia of colourful cereal bowls, video games, Tamagotchis and cartoons before noon. Using bold pastel palettes, carefully styled compositions and subtle gaming references, we transformed a simple breakfast into a visual celebration of the rituals that shaped a generation. A project about comfort, play and the joy of growing up one spoonful at a time.

Campaigns for Pleasure

A selection of campaign imagery created for Platanomelón across seasonal promotions, product launches and commercial events including Easter, Black Friday and Yellow Days. Working within the brand’s bold and playful visual identity, each campaign required a distinct creative concept while maintaining consistency across the wider brand universe. Through colour, composition, lighting and art direction, the series transforms intimate wellness products into engaging visual stories designed for advertising, e-commerce and social media.

Retro Stills

Retro Stills is a personal project inspired by the visual language of vintage advertising. Through highly saturated color palettes, exaggerated retouching and carefully constructed compositions, the series reinterprets the aesthetics of mid-century commercial imagery from a contemporary perspective. Rather than recreating the past literally, the project explores nostalgia as a visual tool, blending familiar objects with bold colour, graphic simplicity and an intentionally heightened sense of artificiality.

Created in collaboration with food stylist Olga Vila. After wrapping up a commercial shoot, we decided to spend the rest of the day experimenting with food, props, colour and lighting in the studio. What started as a few extra dishes quickly turned into a playful series of stylised breakfast scenes built from curiosity, improvisation and a shared love for visual storytelling.

Created for Venoruton, this series reimagines healthcare products through a softer and more lifestyle-oriented visual language. Rather than focusing solely on functionality, the imagery places the products within everyday self-care routines, using natural textures, personal objects and carefully styled compositions to evoke comfort, wellbeing and relief. The project combines commercial product photography with art direction inspired by wellness and beauty campaigns, helping make a pharmaceutical category feel more approachable and human.

Created for a selection of independent artists and makers, including Daniel Gaspar, Yubia, Cinta Hosta and Anas Rifi-Zinati, this series explores how colour, props and visual storytelling can transform product photography into something more playful and memorable. Rather than simply documenting the objects, each image was built around a small narrative, using art direction and set design to give personality and character to every piece.

Beyond Ordinary

Beyond Ordinary is a conceptual advertising project built around a simple question: what would happen if everyday objects were given the same visual treatment as luxury products? Each image was developed as a fictional advertising campaign, combining art direction, set design, lighting and graphic thinking to create believable brand worlds around otherwise unremarkable objects. The series demonstrates how visual language alone can influence perception, desirability and perceived value.

Table for One

Created in collaboration with food stylist Olga Vila, Table for One explores character-building through food and everyday objects. Each image begins with a different dish, but the final scene is shaped around an imagined person sitting just outside the frame. From their choice of meal to the small personal items left on the table, every detail contributes to a portrait of someone we never actually see. The project combines food styling, set design and visual storytelling to transform ordinary meals into clues about identity, habits and personality.

A collection of product-focused still lifes created for Byly. Guided by each product’s ingredients, fragrance profile and core benefits, every image uses colour, materials and styling elements to build immediate visual associations. From citrus notes and freshness cues to botanical ingredients and water-inspired compositions, the series explores how art direction can make product communication both intuitive and visually memorable.

Sleep Rituals

A series of conceptual still lifes created for Manta Sleep, inspired by the routines that surround sleep rather than sleep itself. Toothbrushes, tea cups, slippers, alarm clocks and personal care objects become visual symbols of winding down and waking up. Using color, geometry and carefully constructed compositions, the project transforms everyday habits into playful sculptural scenes that celebrate the rituals of rest.

Created for Happy Nutrition, a natural baby food brand focused on making healthy eating feel approachable, colourful and playful. Following the brand’s visual identity, I developed a series of still lifes and product-focused compositions designed to highlight both the products and the everyday moments surrounding them.

Created for Manta Sleep, this campaign explores the visual language of dreams through colour, lighting and atmosphere. Rather than focusing on product functionality alone, the imagery builds a surreal world suspended between sleep and wakefulness. Dramatic lighting, deep shadows and carefully controlled colour palettes transform the product into part of a dreamlike narrative, creating a campaign that feels cinematic, immersive and slightly otherworldly.

Tiny Scenarios is an ongoing personal project exploring storytelling through miniature worlds. Using scale models, props and carefully crafted compositions, I recreate familiar everyday moments — from laundries and kitchens to workshops and back alleys — inviting viewers to pause and imagine the stories happening beyond the frame. What began as a creative exercise became an exploration of nostalgia, observation and world-building, transforming ordinary scenes into small universes filled with character and detail.

Created for Domma, a wellness brand focused on supporting women through menopause and hormonal transitions. Working from the brand’s visual guidelines and color palette, I developed a series of still lifes designed to translate each product into a relatable moment of everyday life. From morning routines and nourishing breakfasts to self-care rituals and evening wind-downs, every scene combines product, ingredients and lifestyle cues to tell a story without the need for people. The result is a cohesive visual system that connects functionality, wellbeing and brand identity through colour, composition and set design.
