Miguel Prado

I’m Miguel Prado, a photographer based in Gijón specializing in professional portrait photography. I avoid pigeonholes and look for the truth in each person: my comfort zone is just beyond the predictable, where characterful images emerge. I mainly work with on-location sessions and controlled lighting to create portraits that convey authority, approachability and personality, tailored for professional uses such as corporate photography, LinkedIn photos or CV images. Why choose my portraits? Because a strong portrait is more than technique: it’s trust. My approach combines a documentary eye with technical control; I use lighting to shape expression while preserving naturalness. I’ve worked with singers, musicians and professionals across many fields, and that experience helps me find the gesture, posture and atmosphere that best represent your professional project. How I work: the session begins with a conversation to define objectives—what you want to communicate and where the photo will be used. From there I plan location, lighting and style. During the session I aim to create a relaxed, collaborative environment: I give clear, simple directions so the subject feels comfortable and I mix spontaneous takes with carefully composed poses. After the shoot I select and perform detailed editing, refining skin, color and framing for a modern, professional result. My offering is designed for professionals and companies in Gijón and Asturias who need images that are both useful and visually considered: profile portraits, corporate photos for company websites, images for press releases or digital platforms. Although portraiture is my speciality, my visual sensibility adapts well to both creative and corporate contexts. If you’re looking for an image that speaks for you—serious, approachable and full of personality—I offer sessions that prioritize communication and practical outcomes. Contact me to talk about your project; together we’ll define the style that best represents your personal brand or your company’s image in Gijón.
