HawaBCN

My name is Hawa and I am a portrait photographer based in La Bordeta, Barcelona. My work is born from a deep passion for the image: each portrait is a small investigation aimed at discovering the authenticity of the person in front of my camera. If you are looking for a professional portrait that differs from the traditional studio look, my modern and passionate approach is designed to create natural, expressive photographs full of personality. Why choose me for your professional portrait? I prioritize human connection. More than posing, my sessions invite you to express who you are: I use simple conversation, gentle direction and a relaxed atmosphere that helps even those who feel shy in front of the camera. This close, calm environment allows me to capture micro-gestures and genuine glances—images that withstand the passage of time and work both for personal use and to project a polished image in professional contexts. My method combines aesthetic sensitivity with practical experience. Before the session we talk about your goals: the style you want, the intended uses of the photographs and the location that best suits your personality. In La Bordeta and on-location around Barcelona I favor natural light and clean compositions; if you prefer a studio or more controlled setting, we adapt the session to your needs. During the shoot I provide clear guidance and immediate feedback so the result is coherent and authentic. After the session I carefully select and edit the images to enhance naturalness without losing the essence. I deliver optimized digital files with a consistent aesthetic aligned with the image we want to project. In addition to portrait photography, I offer portrait workshops for those who want to learn how to observe and direct people in front of the lens; teaching and sharing techniques is an important part of my practice and helps foster creativity. I work mainly in Barcelona from my base in La Bordeta and I am available to travel depending on the project. If you are looking for a professional portrait that speaks about you — with a modern style, honesty and personalized attention — I will be delighted to create those images with you.
