Headshot photographer in Barcelona

A lot of Barcelona’s offices are in converted or new buildings with a great deal of glass: the 22@ district in Poblenou, where tech and design firms moved into old factory blocks, the towers along the Diagonal, the Eixample flats turned into studios. Glass is pleasant to work in and difficult to photograph against, because the window behind someone at eleven in the morning is several stops brighter than their face and the light changes as the sun moves round. So the set goes up away from the windows, with our own lights and a neutral background, and stays exactly where it is from the first person to the last. That consistency is what makes a team page look like one company, whether it has six people on it or sixty.

When to book in Barcelona

Indoors, the season matters less than the calendar of the office itself. Avoid the weeks around the Mobile World Congress in early March if your company exhibits or hosts clients, and August, when much of Barcelona is on holiday and half the team will be missing. September and January are the busiest months for team pages, because new people start then. During the day, mid-morning slots work best: people have arrived, nobody has come back from lunch, and those with glasses are not yet tired. In summer, a cool room makes a visible difference, so ask facilities to switch the air conditioning on early.
