Running, travel and the kind of stories you only tell after you have walked them.

01 — Who

I do not make content
about running.
I make content about not stopping.

I direct, shoot and edit everything myself. No crew, no agency in the middle — you talk to the person doing the work, and the piece you approve is the piece that ships.

I shoot what I know: empty roads, hard midday light, people who keep going after it stops being fun. Real grain, warm colour, nothing plastic. If the sweat is there, you see it.

I work with brands that understand an audience is not rented for one post. It is built the same way as everything else: by showing up again the next day.

The desert

Out here nobody
is watching.

It is the only part that matters.

02 — Work

Real frames, no production and no crew. This is what I can do and how it looks.

  • Runner lying on his back on the asphalt, catching his breath after a run

    When it is done

    The minute after the last kilometre. Nobody films this one, and it is the only one that says anything true.

    • Backlight
    • Location portrait
  • Low-angle shot of a runner in a cap, sunglasses and hydration vest breathing against a blue sky

    Out of breath

    Low angle against open sky. Good for technical apparel: the garment is worn and under real effort, not hanging in a studio.

    • Low angle
    • Product in use
  • Aerial view of a dirt trail winding across a scrubland hillside at dusk

    The trail from above

    Drone at dusk. The scale of the terrain and one small figure — the frame that turns an ordinary run into a story.

    • Drone
    • Landscape
  • Calm sea at sunset, an island on the horizon and clouds tinged pink

    When the wind drops

    Last light on flat water. The clean frame that opens a campaign, or lets a feed breathe between harder pieces.

    • Landscape
    • Golden hour
  • Runner seen from behind on a dirt track before sunrise, with the valley and mountains beyond

    Blue hour

    The twenty minutes before sunrise. Cold light, no hard shadows, and very few people willing to get up for it.

    • Blue hour
    • Tracking shot
  • Runner seen from behind on a trail through dry scrub, with the sierra in the background

    Loose ground

    Handheld, running behind. When a brand wants real movement instead of a pose, this is how it gets shot.

The numbers matter less than who is behind them. My community trains, travels and buys gear because they use it — not because they saw it scroll past.

  • 03

05 — How I work

Few pieces. Made properly.

  1. We talk. What you want to say and who to. Half an hour is enough.
  2. I propose. Concept, references, formats and a fixed quote.
  3. We shoot. I handle everything. You approve once.
  4. I deliver. Master, verticals, stills and copy. With clear usage rights.
  5. We measure. A real report at thirty days. No decoration.

06 — Common questions

  • Who shoots and edits?

    I do. From the idea to the master: concept, shoot, edit and colour. No crew and no subcontractors, so you always speak to the person doing the work.

  • What does a collaboration cost?

    It depends on the scope — a single piece is not a campaign with several deliverables. Tell me what you need and I will send a fixed quote, with no extras halfway through.

  • Can we use the content in paid media?

    Yes, if we agree it beforehand. Usage rights are set out in writing in the quote: where it runs, for how long and in which formats. No grey areas.

  • Do you know how advertising must be disclosed in Spain?

    Yes, and it is certified: I hold AUTOCONTROL's basic training certificate for influencers on advertising regulation. Every paid piece is labelled as advertising from the start, in the format the rules require, with no claims the brand could not defend.

  • Do you travel to shoot?

    Yes, and the further the better. I am based in Murcia but I work across Spain and abroad. Travel costs are itemised separately in the quote.

  • What do I get at the end?

    The horizontal master, vertical cuts for social, the selected stills and the caption copy. Ready to publish, not raw footage for somebody else to edit.
