Óscar Lagarrotxa
Wedding photographer
mallorca in love founder
I was born in Barcelona roughly a couple of days ago, although I have spent most of my life in Mallorca, our beautiful island located exactly at the center of the universe. When people ask me where I am from, I always reply the same: “I was born in the Mediterranean.”
When I was a kid, my dad, who´s passionate about photography, had a dark room at home. ´The lab´, we´d call it. So I´ve known the magic of photography almost since birth: the analogue cameras, ´film´ photography, the developing of negatives… all of that is very familiar to me. I guess that explains why I am always looking for some sort of ´organic´ feel in my photos, despite the fact I nowadays shoot 100% digital.
I love to travel in the way I consider the purest; immersing myself fully in the local culture. When I visit a new country I always wonder
what it would be like to live there, and I attempt to answer the question the best possible way: doing what locals do.
I imagine this is what led me, while I was travelling through India and Pakistan, to discover my passion for portraying people and their surroundings in my photographs: I tried to capture their glances, their moments, and the energy that surrounds them.
If I am not photographing a wedding or telling a story with my pictures, you can find me in the countryside, with my partner and my son, or in the air, flying in my paraglide or perhaps at a live music venue, playing soul with my band.
Thank you for trusting me to capture your memories!
