Baloo Studio

At Baloo Studio, in the heart of Vallcarca (Barcelona), I specialize in professional portrait photography designed to show who you are with honesty and good taste. I’m Irene G. Ruíz — a visual communicator trained in photojournalism with experience in fashion and editorial work. My photography always begins with a human connection: beyond a technically correct image, I seek to convey the essence that defines you, whether it’s for a professional profile, a LinkedIn photo, a CV or your team’s corporate image. My approach blends editorial sensibility with kind, approachable direction. I work primarily with natural light in a warm, uncluttered studio where you’ll feel comfortable and free to be yourself. The session is a safe, relaxed space: I prepare each shoot by listening to your goals, guide you through the process and direct with subtlety so poses and expressions flow naturally. After the session I carefully retouch each image in Lightroom and Photoshop to deliver clean, elegant photographs that are coherent with your visual communication. For professionals and companies, my corporate portrait photography aims to humanize communication: images that convey trust, competence and the personality of the people behind the brand. Corporate projects begin with a conversation to understand values and objectives — I propose a visual style, support art direction when needed and ensure consistency across individual headshots or team imagery. I provide practical guidance on wardrobe, styling and pose, and I can photograph teams on location or at the studio depending on your needs. Why trust Baloo Studio? My eye comes from years of storytelling through images: I moved from photojournalism into fashion and editorial, and now I focus on portraying people and brands with soul. This experience guarantees a serene, professional session and results that stand the test of time — images that will continue to tell your story. If you’re looking for a professional portrait in Vallcarca that preserves warmth and authenticity, I’d be delighted to hear from you and design a tailored session. At Baloo Studio we transform your presence into portrait photography that truly connects.
