Art-Pic Photography

Art-Pic Photography positions itself as a specialist in professional portraiture in Poble Sec, offering a handcrafted, deliberate approach focused on the individual. Under the direction of Daffke Hollstein, each session aims to reveal the subject’s authentic presence: not just a picture, but an intentional representation suitable for professional and editorial use. What sets the studio apart is the use of the Linhof Technika and the practice of portraiture on large-format film (4x5" or 9x12 cm) in black and white. This technical choice shapes the attention to detail, light and composition: every exposure is made with calm, control and respect for the analogue image. Negatives are carefully scanned to preserve texture and the character of the grain, and digital retouching is kept to a minimum to maintain a timeless finish. How we work: studio sessions in Poble Sec are designed to build trust. Before the appointment we discuss the portrait’s objective — professional headshot, corporate portrait, LinkedIn photo or CV image — and tailor lighting, background and posture to the client’s specific needs. In the studio we create a calm atmosphere aimed at helping the person feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. The result reflects professional standards without losing human warmth. For companies and professionals who need corporate or business portraits, Art-Pic offers a sober, coherent approach that aligns with brand identity. Whether it’s a LinkedIn headshot or images for internal and external communications, the photographs seek to project credibility and character while respecting the timeless aesthetic of the analogue process. Choosing Art-Pic means opting for portrait photography with its own language: technical, measured and strongly detail-oriented. If you are looking for a professional photographer who combines the tradition of large-format film with results conceived for the contemporary professional world, the Poble Sec studio brings technical expertise and artistic sensitivity to create memorable portraits that are useful for your career or company.
