David Portela is a Spanish photographer and director based on the country’s western coast.

With a background shaped by two decades behind the camera, he captures people and places with a fresh, intuitive gaze.

Known for his analog practice and a strong sense of atmosphere, his work blends spontaneity with precision—often evoking dreamlike scenes where emotion, light, and landscape converge.

Whether in fashion, lifestyle or portraiture, his images reflect a quietly distinctive way of seeing.

Selected editorial and advertising clients include H&M, Carolina Herrera, Zara, Vogue, CN Traveler, Frankies Bikinis, Brunello Cucinelli, Mango, Massimo Dutti, Tonywack, Babaà.
