A boudoir photographer in Barcelona who directs every moment
VÉRTIGO is Carmina's boudoir photography studio in Barcelona. Sessions are private, last two hours and are fully directed, so you never need to know how to pose. We talk first about what inspires you, I prepare a personalised moodboard, and on the day I guide you through every pose, every expression and as many changes of look as you like.
Sessions are for individuals and couples aged 18 and over, and for brides too. Everything can happen in English or Spanish, whichever you are most comfortable with, so you can book with confidence if you live in Barcelona or are visiting the city.
Where your session takes place
Your session takes place in Barcelona. We choose the space together according to the style you are looking for, and I send you options when we talk.
Your privacy comes first
Your photos are only ever published with your explicit consent. How much you show is entirely your choice: every session adapts to what makes you feel comfortable and powerful. The result is intimate and artistic, never explicit.
Who is behind the camera
Carmina worked in Australia, Denmark, Italy and Argentina before settling in Barcelona. In 2025 her work received a Silver at the Australian Photographic Prize. Read her story.
An intimate, modern photographic experience, designed around you.
You are not here to fit a mould.
You are here to express yourself.
To inhabit your body with a new gaze.
And to take home images that are more than "pretty photos": proof of your presence, your beauty, your power.
It's not just a shoot.
It's a reunion.

Reviews
They lived the experience
"The experience felt really calm, intimate… and more real than I expected."
I was a bit nervous at the beginning, not fully in my body. But after a few minutes of Carmina giving me directions, I got over it. When I saw the photos, it hit me — I didn't see a "bride". I saw myself. It ended up meaning a lot more than I thought it would.
“For the first time, I felt proud of myself. For fuck’s sake - why not? It was now or never.”
To be seen by you Carmina it’s an honour and wow, so cool experience- like playing!
We came as a couple not really knowing what to expect. Carmina handled everything with so much clarity and respect. It wasn’t awkward—it was intimate in the best way. We left feeling more connected, and the result is creative, artistic, and never vulgar.

Complete privacy - For adults aged 18 and over
See packagesThe aim is for you to fall a little in love with the images, but above all to see yourself through other eyes, and to discover yourself in ways you may never have allowed yourself.
{ 01 }
Four styles, four ways of seeing yourself.
PLAYFUL
Music, movement, fabric, champagne. No seriousness, all energy. The only goal here is to have an incredible time and for that to show in every image.
DARK & MOODY
Shadows, contrast, skin as texture. Curves drawn with light. For those looking for something more artistic, more intimate, more powerful.
CREATIVE
What you once imagined but never did. Different ideas, visual play, creativity without limits.
LIGHT & SOFT
Like an angel fallen from the sky. Here we look for your tenderest, most vulnerable side: soft light, luminous skin, calm.
Carmina - Director & Photographer at Vértigo
More about meI fell in love with intimate portraiture when I understood it wasn't about being sexy, but about feeling empowered.
Intimate photography changed my life. It brought together all my interests as a woman and as an artist, and gave me a purpose.
