Leo Lopez is a photographer and educator based in Spain’s Canary Islands, after spending a year living in Australia and Thailand. His recent evolution—from observing quiet moments through street photography to setting up stylized shoots with models and planned locations—marks a meaningful shift in how he approaches photography.
In this episode, Leo and I dive into his creative journey: how his background shaped his style, why teaching photography has made him better at it, and whether most photographers are actually introverts. We also talk about his recent projects, like shooting Muay Thai fighters in Chiang Mai and the female surf scene in the Canary Islands. Plus, I share my love for the dreamy photography coming out of places like the Amalfi Coast and Capri.
If you’re on your own photography path, exploring new genres, or just curious to hear how another Big Photo Hunt member is growing as a photographer, this one’s for you.
