Carles Punyet Miró is a fascinating photographer living in Barcelona, who loves aerial photography as he is a private pilot but also is passionate by capturing the beauty of women.

'Suile'

I studied cinematography and photography and started making short films when I was in my twenties.
I didn´t fully dedicate to photography until 2014, and always as an amateur.

'Close to the edge'

'The Lone Rider'

My most important experience in photography was when I joined the “Agrupació Fotogràfica de Catalunya” and “Federació Catalana de Fotografía” in 2013.

And my photographic vision is probably the vision of any photographer, trying to capture what I like in my very own way.

'Postcard from Côte d'Azur'  

'Escape from Winter'

As I am a private pilot, I like aerial photography. Unfortunately I have to shoot from inside the cabin (plexiglass, movement, flight control), losing quality.

'Cloud Cover' 

'Long way home'

'Don't pass me by'

It´s easier to make portraits trying to capture the beauty of women and their expressions. I just love it, that´s my secret.

'Marya'   

The main features of a successful portrait photographer are, in my humble opinion, speaking and understanding the model, and knowing how to explain what you want to achieve, trying to make the session as relaxed as possible (and make them laugh, of course).

'Vive la Résistance!'   

'Just another groom at the window'

'Keep Calm and Wait'   

'A night in the life'

The idea always comes before.   Later in the edit, I try to highlight the details.

'Sweat Dreams'

'Messing Around' 

'Sisters'

I find my inspiration in real life. I´m inspired by what I see and what I live.

'Off Duty'   

'On Tour'

I'm persuaded that gear is very important, whether or not you have a passion for photography. I usually use a Sony Alpha 7II camera and Sony lens 24-105, and sometimes Canon 7D Mark II and Canon lens 24-105. No tripod (I´m an amateur)

About my own favourite photo, that's hard to say!  Depends on the day, I guess.

'Mary's Gang of '20'

A lot of people have influenced my photography. 
First of all, my mentor Pere Romero (a member of A.F.C). And also photographers as Newton, Leibovitz, Halsman, Ray, Lindbergh, Avedon, Newman…that I endlessly admire.

I got no real plans.  Going with the flow day by day looking forward that inspiration catches me.
