Whitebox Portraits

At Whitebox Portraits we understand portraiture as a visual conversation: brief pauses in which a person’s best version appears. From Vigo, Richard Candendo and his Portrait Station have spent over a decade turning moments into timeless images. Our specialty is professional portrait photography — female, male and small-group portraits — designed for those who want an intentional, elegant image ready to represent them personally and professionally. Our approach combines the warmth of human interaction with studio-quality standards. We set up a compact studio on-site or at selected locations: a backlit white background, controlled lighting and immediate retouching. The result is portraits with a sober, timeless finish, usually rendered in black and white, that emphasize features and convey personality without artifice. Why choose us: we work from experience and intention. We don’t rely on the camera alone: a photographer guides, relaxes and suggests small posture adjustments so each portrait looks natural and clear. We also edit and retouch images to achieve a balance between authenticity and professional presentation — ideal for LinkedIn photos, CVs or corporate portraits. How we work: we begin with a brief conversation to understand the portrait’s purpose (professional profile, communication materials, gift, etc.). During the session the atmosphere is friendly yet efficient; simple directions help subjects forget their nerves and show their best expression. When booked for an event, our Portrait Station prints high-quality copies and offers instant, private delivery of images to guests using Find My Face technology. Complementary services: in addition to individual portraits, we produce corporate portraits and company portrait sessions aligned with your brand image (photography for professional profiles and small visual branding assets). Our priority is constant: the portrait as a discipline and a carefully guided experience. Working with Whitebox Portraits means investing in images that endure: portraits that don’t go out of style, that work across websites, social media and professional documents, and that move the viewer. If you’re looking in Vigo for a photographer who understands portraiture as both art and service, let’s talk.
