I’m Mario Setién, a Santander-based photographer specializing in professional portraits. I shoot corporate and LinkedIn headshots with a natural approach, wardrobe guidance, and a distinctive style.
Hello, I’m Mario Setién, a professional photographer based in Santander and covering all of Cantabria. My specialty is portrait photography: creating images that go beyond good lighting and proper framing. I work with individuals and companies who need a professional portrait—for LinkedIn, CVs, or corporate websites—that conveys confidence, personality, and authenticity. Why entrust me with your professional portrait? My approach combines sensitivity and technical experience. I don’t just “take photos”: I listen to what you want to communicate, advise you on wardrobe and posture, and select the light and composition that best enhance your image. I aim for natural results, with simple, spontaneous poses so each portrait truly reflects who you are and what you offer professionally. My working method is designed to make you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. I create a friendly, calm atmosphere where conversation and gentle direction allow authentic expressions to emerge. If you prefer, we can shoot in my studio in Santander; if the project calls for it, I also work on location for lifestyle portraits that show your professional environment. In addition to individual portraits, I provide corporate photography for businesses that want to humanize their communication: team photos, executive portraits, and professional profiles tailored for websites and social media. I’m not just a technician: I understand the importance of visual image in how your business is perceived, and I work to ensure every photograph communicates quality and credibility. The process includes a prior consultation, the shoot in a comfortable setting, and careful editing to deliver a professional result consistent with your image. My goal isn’t only to give you attractive photos, but to provide visual tools that help you connect with clients, recruiters, or collaborators. If you’re looking for a professional portrait in Santander or Cantabria that moves viewers and communicates who you are, let’s talk. I’d love to learn about your project and suggest the best way to bring out your best in front of the camera.
