You’re Not Awkward — You Just Need the Right Photographer in Marbella

July 3, 2025
Photography

Let’s Get This Out of the Way: You’re Not Awkward

You know that feeling? Someone lifts a camera, and suddenly your hands forget how to behave? You freeze. Your face feels wrong. You mutter, “I’m just not photogenic,” before the photo’s even been taken.

Here’s the truth: you’re not awkward — you just haven’t been photographed by someone who knows how to make you feel comfortable.

And trust me, that makes all the difference.

As a professional photographer I hear it all the time: “Sorry, we’re a bit awkward.” “We’ve never done a real photo shoot before.” “We’re definitely not instagram people.”

Spoiler? They almost always end up looking like they stepped out of a lifestyle magazine — not because they posed perfectly, but because they relaxed.

It’s Not You — It’s the Space You’re In (Secrets About Portrait Photography in Spain)

Being in front of the lens is intimate — vulnerable, even. That’s why great photography isn’t about nailing the perfect pose. It’s about creating an atmosphere where you can just be human.

Forget the stiff smiles. Forget the Pinterest portfolio. It’s all about cherished moments.

A good photographer (especially one who specializes in natural, authentic moments) will read the room — they’ll know when to speak and when to let the moment breathe. They will know the composition, perfect lighting, picturesque landscape for that one photo. When that happens, real you shows up. The laughter. Feeling completely at ease, captured in a natural way. And the photos? The ones that you treasure forever.

And suddenly? You’re not awkward. You’re radiant.

 

What Makes a Difference: The Right Photographer in Marbella or Malaga (Hint: Human First)

So let’s say you’re searching for a photographer somewhere along Costa del Sol. Maybe you want portraits, an engagement session, or just a few high-quality images that actually feel like you.

Here’s my advice: don’t just scroll through a highlight reel on Instagram. Don’t just go for the most glamorous edits or the most followers.

Find someone who knows how to see you. Someone who notices the micro-expressions, the half-laughs, the way your partner looks at you when you’re not even paying attention.

Because in the end, photography isn’t about perfection. It’s about connection — and about capturing what’s real.

 

What It’s Actually Like to Do a Photo Shoot with Me

Here’s what happens when you book a session:

  • We meet (in real life or online), and I get a feel for your vibe.

  • We don’t start with stiff poses. We start with conversation.

  • You’ll move — stroll along the beach, spin around barefoot, whisper something silly. Nothing forced.

  • I’ll guide you with prompts, never pressure.

  • And somewhere in the middle of all that, you’ll stop noticing the camera. You will feel confident. We will capture elegance and simplicity at the same time.

 

Why This Matters: Don’t Let “I’m Awkward” Be the Reason You Don’t Capture That Moment

The truth is, some of the most beautiful photos I’ve ever taken came from clients who swore they “weren’t photo people.”

They showed up anyway. Nervous. A little skeptical.
And by the end, they were laughing, twirling, laying in the sand like they’d done it their whole lives.

So if you’ve been putting off a photo session because you feel unsure, or because you think you’re “too awkward”… I get it. But that’s not your job.

That’s my job.

To help you relax. To make you feel seen. To capture something real — not staged.

Whether it’s a family photoshoot in Marbella’s old town, a candid beach session in Fuengirola, or a portrait shoot for just you — I’m here to make it feel natural, not like work.
