Jesús G. Pastor

I am Jesús G. Pastor, a photographer and journalist based in Barcelona, and my portrait work starts from a simple premise: photography is, above all, looking. With more than twenty years of experience across photojournalism, documentary projects and portraiture, I offer professional portraits that avoid artifice and seek the truth of the person in front of the camera. Why choose me for your professional photo? Because I combine a documentary eye with technical and pedagogical experience: I have worked in dozens of countries, I am the author of the book Mira y fotografía (Look and Photograph) and I teach both in-person and online courses. That mix allows me to create images that work in the corporate world (LinkedIn, CVs, company websites) while also conveying personality and humanity. My approach is based on naturalness and discretion. I avoid forced poses and prefer to create an atmosphere of trust where gestures and expressions arise organically. In the session I propose a preliminary conversation, lighting and framing guidelines tailored to your objective, and gentle direction that helps even the most camera-shy people appear confident. Technique and narrative go hand in hand: I carefully shape light, composition and visual language so the image performs on a professional profile, a corporate site or a personal dossier. The result is not just a good photograph; it’s an image designed to communicate who you are, what you represent and how you want to appear to clients, teams or recruiters. If you wish, I can integrate the session with guidance on wardrobe, background and the final format optimized for LinkedIn or a CV. As a complement, I offer educational resources — my book and courses — that help you understand how to build a purposeful professional image. I work from Barcelona and adapt to studio or professional environments according to what your personal brand or company requires. If you are looking for a professional portrait with its own perspective, free of artifices and informed by documentary sensitivity, write to me: we’ll have a coffee and put the camera where it matters most — on your look.
