Malo Portraits

I am Iban Malo, the photographer behind Malo Portraits, and my specialty is family photography in Rivas-Vaciamadrid. I work to combine sensitivity and naturalness so a session becomes an authentic memory: I don't look for rigid poses but for sincere moments that reflect the personalities and relationships of the people in the frame. My approach is rooted in closeness. Before the session I talk with you to understand your story, tastes and expectations; this lets me propose locations, styles and dynamics that will work for your family. During the session I create a relaxed, warm atmosphere; my experience as a model and actor helps me communicate and guide calmly, so even those unfamiliar with the camera feel comfortable and spontaneous. I am drawn to everyday gestures — looks, laughter, embraces — because those are the moments that truly matter. I shoot both outdoors and in the studio, adapting light and composition to produce elegant, natural images with character. My goal is to deliver photographs that move you every time you look at them and that become part of your family's memory. Although my primary focus is portrait and family photography, I also handle related sessions such as maternity with the same care and philosophy: respect, sensitivity and guidance that enhances naturalness. Every session is tailored to your family’s rhythm and personality, whether you prefer candid, documentary-style images or gently directed portraits. Choose Malo Portraits if you want someone who combines artistic sensitivity with a human, supportive approach — a photographer who will guide you without pressure, find the best light and composition for your story, and carefully edit each image. If you live in Rivas-Vaciamadrid or the surrounding area and wish to immortalize the closeness and affection of your family, let’s talk and design a bespoke session that truly represents who you are.
