Wendy’s fallen in love with photography, and apparently she thinks I’m a model now. (I’m not. Obviously.)
But I do try. Even if I have no idea how to pose.
Nice comments are welcome. They help with the confidence. 😉

After half an hour, she looked at me and said:
"Okay. Now it’s your turn."
I looked at her like... my turn for what?
“To pose,” she said. “To be the model.”
So… yeah. These are the photos she took of me. 🙈

The plan was simple: take photos of Wendy. That’s what I do.
And hey—if your model is literally sleeping next to you, getting her to a sunrise shoot gets a lot easier.

These are some of my favorite photos from the HEATWAVE Escape in Málaga.
Totally spontaneous. Totally worth it.
Sometimes the moment chooses you.

Mia had just stood up from her towel, put on that hat, and looked like she owned the whole coastline.
And honestly, maybe she did.
I looked at her.
She looked at me.
You already know what happened next.

This isn’t some high-priced retreat.
It’s a collaborative trip.
A few artists getting together to make something we’ll remember.
The full photo gallery is already live on Patreon.
BTS video coming soon.

It felt like the perfect way to begin.
Simple. Beautiful. No noise.
Just that silent creative click when everything aligns.

Rosangelina and I started shooting right away.
She looked so small in the frame, but totally at home in the space.
Like the morning light was made for her.

Just a few older men already standing quietly by the railing, looking out over the sea.
The calm before the city wakes up.

That first morning, we got up early and drove to Nerja.
By the time we reached the Balcón de Europa, the sun was rising… and somehow the place was completely empty.

We had just kicked off the trip.
A group of creative souls, staying in a house up in the mountains near Málaga.
Good energy from the start. No pressure, no egos. Just people who love creating things.

The Girl I Met Outside My Door is now live on the HEATWAVE site.
A full visual story! Cinematic, sensual, and quietly rebellious.

It started as a story.
A sensual one.
Something I wrote down after she left.
Only later did we bring it to life, with images, light, and that same soft defiance she carried in her body.

She sat in the sun, sent one last message, and took off her top.
Not to be seen.
Just to feel free.
Like the sunlight finally belonged to her.

That afternoon she walked.
To the gas station.
To the edge of the forest.
To the beach.
To that invisible line between being polite... and being done.

I didn’t want the day to end.
But I brought my camera.
So if you want to see what it looked like, the full gallery, behind-the-scenes clips, and sun-soaked memories, they’re waiting on my Patreon:

At some point, a tiny boat selling cocktails pulled up.
Of course we got some.
Of course we took photos.
But mostly, we just floated there, half-melted into the afternoon light.
That kind of peace… you don’t fake it.

We dropped anchor in a quiet little bay.
The girls were glowing. Laughing, lying on towels, dipping their feet in.
Someone passed around beers. Someone else turned up the music.
Time slowed down.
It felt like we’d all known each other forever.

We met in Jávea. I drove up with three girls from Valencia. Melanie came from the other side.
No pressure. No big idea.
Just a warm welcome, cold beers, and a sea that sparkled like it had been waiting for us.

The boat’s called Chorfitas.
It belongs to Jorge, a man who seems to have life completely figured out.
He lives slow. He smiles often. And he told me,
“My boat is always open to you.”
So I brought some sunshine with me.

Tomorrow we hit the road again, off to Málaga to meet up with some models and a bunch of photographers for the HEATWAVE Escape. If all goes as planned… it’s gonna be wild! 🙌🏼🙈🔥

It’s the best thing ever to have someone by my side who not only loves wandering around with a camera, but also looks this good when the roles are reversed. What a woman.

She sat down like that, and it honestly felt like one of those moments you don’t even have to stage. Just hit the shutter and let the mood do the rest.
