Laura Hurtado

As a professional portrait specialist based in Puerta del Angel, my work focuses on capturing each person’s essence with a timeless, natural style. For me, a great portrait is more than technique: it means listening, guiding and creating a space where the subject feels comfortable, authentic and able to show their best self. My approach combines sensitivity and professionalism. I come from a background where observation and a close, respectful way of working are central: this translates into relaxed sessions, conversations before and during the shoot, and gentle photographic direction that helps even the shyest people present themselves with confidence. I create images that don’t go out of style and that accompany both professional and personal lives — from headshots for CVs and LinkedIn to family portraits that preserve bonds and memories. I work in studio and on location, adapting lighting, framing and atmosphere to what each portrait needs. My intention is always fidelity to the person: soft colors, real gestures and simple compositions that put the focus on the eyes and expression. The process includes a short pre-shoot consultation to define goals (professional image, personal portrait, corporate portrait) and, if you wish, suggestions on wardrobe and background so the final image communicates exactly what you want to convey. Although portraiture is my specialty, I also offer corporate imaging and professional photos for career profiles. These sessions are designed to project both professionalism and approachability for environments such as LinkedIn, websites or corporate materials. In every assignment I apply the same sensitivity and attention to detail, always respecting each client’s identity. Photography is both passion and craft for me: I am a mother and a professional, and that combination inspires my way of working — patient, approachable and committed to creating images that move you. If you’re looking for a portrait that reflects who you are —with naturalness, elegance and truth— I would be delighted to meet you and accompany you through the process.
