“In this lesson I will show you some tools that work for me when it comes to building that link with the model. For me, the key is to leave space and listen without judging.

In this video lesson Marta Mas Girones addresses the topic: The conversation, which is part of the Domestika online course: Intimate Photography Portraits. Discover a new approach to taking portraits from an honest and intimate perspective.

Marta Mas Girones
A course by Marta Mas Girones
Marta Mas was born in Barcelona and although her background is in philosophy, she has turned her love for photography into a career. Her portfolio contains a wide range of different clients, including actors and actresses, musicians, jewelry brands, and theaters.
Marta manages to capture the most personal side of her subjects through the portrait, which she explains is about "something in the way they look, maybe understanding them, anything that's more genuine than the armor with which we present ourselves to the world". With her style and ideas, she seeks a more human approach to photography that starts with care, seeing as the most honest truths can only be explained by those who don't judge.
