Editorial style portraits Gran Canaria

Editorial style portrait in parque Doramas, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

When most people think of a portrait session, they imagine smiling at the camera in a perfect pose, maybe standing in front of a beach or landmark. And while there's nothing wrong with that, there's a whole other level to being photographed — something deeper, more stylish, and more you. That's where editorial style portraits come in.

What Are Editorial Style Portraits?

Think of the pages of a magazine. The images are more than pretty pictures — they say something. Editorial portraits blend storytelling, emotion, and artistic direction to create powerful, intentional visuals.

These portraits are not about perfection. They’re about atmosphere, mood, and meaning. They feel cinematic, expressive, and personal. You’re not just seen — you’re understood.

Why Choose Editorial Photography in Gran Canaria?

Gran Canaria is more than a vacation spot. It’s a stunning, diverse island full of raw textures, soft light, and hidden spaces that lend themselves perfectly to editorial photography. From the cliffs and dunes to mountain villages and moody old streets — every corner has a story to tell. If you’re someone who doesn’t feel seen in traditional portraits, or if you want to express something more — strength, creativity, emotion — an editorial session might be exactly what you need.

Who Is It For?

This kind of session is for anyone who wants to look stylish, elegant, and intentional — whether you're an individual, a creative, or a brand. If you’re building a visual identity, updating your portfolio, or simply want powerful photos that look like they belong in a magazine, editorial portraits are a perfect fit.

Whether it’s for your personal brand, your website, your press kit, or just for yourself — this style captures the best version of you in a natural, expressive way.

What Happens During the Session?

We start with a planning call. I ask questions about you, your story, your energy, and the message you want your photos to carry.

We’ll choose a location that matches your mood — cliffs, coastline, forest, urban textures — and I’ll help you plan outfits and styling.

During the shoot, we focus on emotion and flow, not forced poses. I’ll guide you into natural movement, help you feel grounded and seen.

The final result is a gallery that feels like a chapter of your story — not just portraits, but visuals that leave an impression.

What My Clients Say

Many of my clients come to their session feeling nervous — unsure of how they’ll look on camera or if they can really express themselves. And yet, time after time, they leave feeling powerful, grounded, and truly seen. Here’s what some of them shared:

"Working with Anastasia was an absolutely wonderful experience! Posing for her felt natural and enjoyable, and our outdoor photoshoot turned into a genuinely creative and inspiring session. She chose a beautiful, slightly intimate location that set the perfect tone and helped me, as the model, feel at ease and in the right mindset. The photos she captured were stunning: full of emotion, narrative, and truly reflected the vision we had in mind. Anastasia has an incredible eye for detail and storytelling through images. I recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only skilled but also brings empathy, energy, and vision to every shoot."

An incredible professional. She has a unique talent for capturing authentic moments and conveying emotions through each image. She made me feel very comfortable throughout the session, and the result exceeded all expectations! I 100% recommend her!

I've done two photoshoots with Anastasia and I couldn't be happier. Her modern style and use of dramatic colors give her photos so much power and personality. Plus, her creativity and professionalism make the whole process fluid and natural. If you're looking for photos with a unique touch, I definitely recommend her. An artist behind the camera!

These testimonials are a reminder that photography is more than an image — it's an experience of self-recognition and confidence.
