Photographer & Retoucher @ sermiranda.com

Barcelona, Spain
I believe that the best ideas come from working in collaboration. And I always aim to make things that challenge my experience.

I feel in my element when I am behind the camera, setting up and directing a team, creating story.

I’ve been making pictures for the most renowned brands and agencies, in Spain, Middle East and Argentina, for the past 20 years. This keeps me constantly trying to improve my work; continuously studying and learning about new techniques, technologies and ideas.

I participate in every detail of the creation of my images, from the initial brainstorming meetings to the production, shooting and post-production of the final results.

I focus my work in Advertising, Portraiture & Fashion photography, although my portfolio widens to a range of several other fields.

If you want to talk to me, the best way is to send me an email to info@sermiranda.com.

Let's work together.
