Five Minutes of Magic: A Circus Performer and His Bike in Black and White
Sometimes the most captivating shots are created spontaneously and in just a few minutes. In this black and white photo shoot, I captured Circo Quiros performer, the charismatic Micael Castanheira. We shot the series during a short break between his performances, and despite the tight deadline, the result was truly impressive.
The silhouette of the powerful motorcycle, the sharp lines of the suit and Micael’s unique expression added depth and character to the images. The artist’s gaze and his confident pose convey both his passion for his profession and the atmosphere of the circus image. These moments — filled with movement, grace and drama — were captured in just a few minutes, which became a real challenge and a unique opportunity for creativity.
The black and white editing added a vintage classic feel to the images and highlighted the textures, from the rough lines of the motorcycle to the soft light on the artist’s face. Despite the express format, the photo shoot was highly praised by fashion publications, and some of the images were published in leading magazines.
If you want to capture equally rich, characterful images that tell a story, book a creative photo shoot in Alicante and Torrevieja. My approach allows for vibrant, stylish portraits, even in a limited time, while maintaining the atmosphere and emotional depth of each scene.
