Julio Bárcena Studio

I’m Julio Bárcena. From my studio in Sant Just Desvern I specialise in portrait photography and corporate photography with an editorial approach shaped by 25 years of experience. I translate professional identities and messages into images that work as strategic tools: headshots for LinkedIn or the press, executive portraits to communicate leadership, and corporate photography that reinforces your brand’s credibility. Why choose me? My work is founded on a clear philosophy: authenticity as a contemporary luxury. I don’t aim for the perfect pose but for genuine presence. I bring an editorial sensibility—the same I’ve developed working with magazines and brands—that turns a session into a careful act of visual selection: light, expression and texture combine to tell who you are and what you represent. Clients and company leaders trust this approach because it produces images with impact and strategic coherence. How do I work? We start with a conversation to define the objective: tone, platforms and the message you want to convey. I prepare a personalised moodboard and advise on wardrobe and styling so every detail contributes. During the session I create a relaxed, focused atmosphere: I guide expression and posture to capture looks and gestures that speak for you. After the shoot I select and retouch the images with an elegant, respectful edit—minimal but precise—that preserves the natural quality of the portrait. My approach is especially useful for executives, consultants, creatives and personal brands who need to project authority and approachability at the same time. I combine technical attention (lighting, composition, skin, texture) with human sensitivity: photography should be both a communication tool and a faithful reflection of the person. Based in Sant Just Desvern, I collaborate with professionals in Barcelona and Madrid, bringing an authorial vision that elevates professional image. If you’re looking for a portrait that opens doors and honestly connects with your audience, let’s talk: a great image is not just aesthetics, it’s visual strategy.
