I currently live in Zaragoza with my husband, but I was born in a town in Teruel. I am a social worker and psychotherapist specialized in the care of LGBTI+ people. I work freelance with my husband in a psychotherapy center we have in Zaragoza. I believe that people who are dissident in our sexual orientation or gender need specialized support services, with professionals who have the necessary training and experience (and if they also belong to our community, so much the better). So that is where I am at. Direct attention and face-to-face treatment is my passion and it fulfills me completely. I am very happy with what I do. Besides photography, I also like to write, although it is a habit that I have practiced more in the…

PHILLIP PALMER Photographer, United Kingdom I live on the south east coast of the UK, near a town called Hastings. (Anyone familiar with English history may recognise the name in reference to "William the conqueror" and the battle of Hastings in 1066 AD). I have been taking general pictures for a number of years but began shooting with models during 2017 when I reached out to a model who lived in a nearby city and we arranged a shoot in my home town. In the beginning I shot mostly just street fashion and casual portraits at a few spots near to where I live. I built up a small basic home studio and I was able to host a few indoor shoots upto underwear levels. I also started experimenting more…

WILLIAM CONNOR Model, Spain I am originally from New York and have lived there my whole life. Until the pandemic, I had moved to Barcelona, Spain. My life has changed for the better. I get to enjoy life more and feel content with what I already have. My days consist of training, learning Spanish, and baking. But now, with modelling, I get to meet many talented photographers and models around the world. I always find time to do at least one or two photoshoots whenever I travel. My life right now is quite an adventure, and I love every second of it. Sometimes with clothes on and sometimes not. Soy originario de Nueva York y he vivido allí toda mi vida. Hasta la pandemia, me había trasladado a Barcelona, España.…
