The strongest photographs don’t just show something. They make you feel something. They live in that beautiful tension between control and chance, between what really happened and what your mind invents around it. In this piece, I talk about that magic, and why it’s at the heart of my photography.

We have worshipped naked marble gods, censored nipples online, and argued about the human body for thousands of years. The problem has never been the skin itself. It is the fear, rules and hypocrisy we build around it. Let me explain.

Not every sexy photo is a thirst trap. Sometimes it is not a performance, a strategy, or a plea for attention. Sometimes it is simply someone feeling free, confident, powerful and alive, and choosing to express that without shame or apology.

We live in a world where a topless body is completely normal at the beach but “dangerous” on Instagram. Why? This article explores how social media platforms like Instagram have turned censorship into a business strategy that ends up shaping what we consider moral, acceptable and “decent.” Through real experiences photographing nude women in Spain, I reflect on freedom, shame, silence, power and the strange moment where the internet starts telling people how to feel about their own bodies. This is not about pornography. It is about expression, identity, vulnerability and the right to be seen.

She wasn’t supposed to be there.
And I wasn’t supposed to care.
But something about her felt like a turning point, like the kind of girl who changes quietly, in the space between two messages.
This isn’t a love story.
It’s an afternoon.
A few stolen hours.
One girl, a Coke, a forest, and the decision to stop waiting.
Sometimes that’s all it takes.

What do people really mean when they say something “looks like a Tumblr photo”? They are not talking about the platform. They are talking about a feeling. A mood. A dreamy, nostalgic kind of image that is soft, emotional, imperfect and quietly intimate. The Tumblr aesthetic was never about perfection or going viral. It was about mystery, longing, melancholy, desire and things left unsaid. In this piece I explore why that style still feels so powerful today, why it continues to influence Instagram, Pinterest and TikTok, and why sometimes the most unforgettable images are the ones that do not explain themselves.

If you stumble upon his Instagram page, Pablo Alonso, better known as Bilbofoto, might seem like one of those photographers who’s got it all figured out. He works with stunning models, travels frequently, and has built an audience that admires his sensual, elegant portraits.

But spend five minutes talking to him, and you’ll realize he’s not just a guy with a camera living some fantasy life. He’s a serious artist with a meticulous approach to his work, a deep respect for his subjects, and an evolving vision that keeps pushing him forward.

We sat down for a long conversation, covering everything from creative ruts to Instagram’s ever-changing algorithm, the art of building trust with models, and the fine balance between artistic passion and making a living.
