Elenafoto, in Santiago de Compostela, specializes in professional and Fine Art portraits. I capture personal and corporate essence with a timeless aesthetic and a warm, attentive approach.
I’m Elena, a photographer based in Santiago de Compostela, and my work focuses on what I do best: portrait photography. After studying Art History and Photography in the UK and collaborating with publications such as National Geographic and Lonely Planet, I returned to Galicia with a visual approach that combines artistic sensitivity and technical rigour. That experience enables me to create portraits that not only document a face but tell a story and convey presence. My approach is clear: authentic, carefully crafted portraits with a timeless aesthetic. I work on both personal portraits and Fine Art portraiture, designing each image so it preserves the beauty of the moment and can become a piece to keep and display. In every session I seek naturalness: I direct gently, propose small actions and conversations that help people relax and reveal their essence in front of the camera. In addition, I offer professional photography for companies as a complement to my portrait work. Drawing on experience in corporate and travel projects, I produce portraits for professional profiles (LinkedIn, CV), team photographs and visual content that strengthens brand identity. My approach for business clients maintains the same visual sensitivity as my artistic work: clean, carefully composed images with clear communicative intent. How I work: I begin with a conversation to understand your goals and personal style. I suggest locations — outdoor spots in Santiago, studio sessions or interior settings — and plan the lighting and aesthetic according to what we want to communicate. During the session I create a relaxed, friendly atmosphere; my method is to converse and direct with subtlety to capture spontaneous gestures and looks. Afterwards, I perform meticulous editing that respects the tone and atmosphere of the images. Why choose me? Because I combine artistic training, international experience and a commitment to portraits that move and communicate. If you’re looking for a portrait that reflects your essence or corporate images with style and authenticity in Santiago de Compostela, I would be delighted to help you create something unique.
