A little of Madrid to send home

This married couple had moved from El Salvador to Madrid for work a few years earlier. They had built a life in the city and wanted photographs they could share with family and friends back home. We met them for couple portraits in Madrid, making El Retiro’s familiar views part of a gallery about their time here together.

Madrid across the water

By El Retiro’s Great Pond, the water opened up the photographs and the columns of the Alfonso XII monument rose across the lake. That combination gave their portraits the unmistakable Retiro setting they wanted. We made wider pictures with the monument in view and closer ones beside the iron railing, with little glimpses of rowing boats behind them.

The lake and its colonnade brought a clear sense of Madrid into the gallery.

A leafy side of El Retiro

The tree-lined paths gave the shoot a different feel. Copper-coloured leaves arched over the couple, with clipped hedges guiding the view along the path. Their neutral outfits looked lovely against those warm colours. We mixed a walk together with photographs beneath the branches, bringing the greenery closer around them than in the open lakeside scenes.

Their life here, shared with home

There were shared smiles, a little movement and quieter portraits along the way. Together, the lakeside views and leafy paths gave the photographs a lovely range while keeping the couple at the centre.

The finished gallery gives their family and friends in El Salvador a glimpse of their life in Madrid: a park they could recognise in the pictures, and the two of them making memories in the place they now call home.
