That sounds fascinating! Speaking of stunning portraits, you should check out the Self-photo studio opened in Barcelona I stumbled upon it recently and saw some amazing photos. How amazing that in this studio we can take photos without a photographer! It’s incredible how photography can capture the essence of individuals and cultures.
