behind the lens

I’m Justina. Lithuanian, raised in Spain, based in Barcelona. Before photography, I spent fifteen years working as a fashion model. Somewhere along those years, my love for photography was awakened, and I had the privilege of learning first-hand from some of the photographers I admired and worked with.

But being in front of the camera taught me much more than the technical side of photography. It taught me a lot about people , how differently we all react to being photographed, what makes someone feel comfortable, and when someone is truly themselves in front of the camera. I learned how much light can change a feeling, and how different an image becomes when someone has forgotten the camera is there. Knowing what it feels like to be told where to stand, how to move or what to do makes me pay close attention to the difference between direction that feels natural and something that feels forced. That experience now helps me guide couples when they need it, while keeping things relaxed and true to them.
My goal is simple: to make you forget about the camera and just be yourselves.

My work moves between carefully composed editorial frames and the quieter, unscripted moments unfolding around them. At times, I’ll guide you into a certain light or composition; the rest of the day, I step back and let things happen naturally. I’m drawn to atmosphere as much as emotion, the way light falls across a room, the pauses between moments, the energy between people when they forget they’re being photographed.

On the wedding day, I move quietly. I watch more than I direct. What I ask from you is simple: be present, live the day fully, forget about the camera. The rest is my job.

I work in Spanish, English, and Lithuanian.
