behind the lens

The couples I work with tend to know what they want, and what they want tends to look like them. Their taste leans contemporary, editorial, design-aware, considered but not overdone. They care less about ticking boxes and more about how the day will feel later, when they look back at it. They want a photographer who sees them clearly, not someone who’ll arrange them into pretty pictures. If that sounds like you, we’ll probably get on.

I’m Justina. Lithuanian, raised in Spain, based in Barcelona. Before photography, I spent fifteen years as a fashion model, living in several countries for long stretches of time. Those years connected me with people and places in a way that broadened how I see the world, and eventually led me to the other side of the lens. That’s where I learned most of what I know about a camera: how light moves across a face, when someone is performing and when they’ve forgotten the lens is there, why the photograph everyone remembers is almost never the one that was set up.

My work moves between the editorial frames where I’ll guide you into a particular light or composition, and the rest of the day where I disappear into the room and watch for what’s actually happening. Before we ever shoot together, I want to understand how you see the day, what matters most to you, and the kind of images that mean something to you. So by the time the wedding comes, I won’t be a stranger with a camera. I’ll be someone whose vision you already trust.

On the day, I move quietly. I watch more than I direct. What I ask is for you to be present, to live the day, to forget about the camera. The rest is my job. The photographs I deliver look for something true in both, in the unguarded moments that happen on their own, and in the portraits we create together.

I work in Spanish, English, and Lithuanian. Most of my weddings are in Spain, but I’m available wherever the day takes us.
If that sounds like the kind of photographer you’re looking for, I’d love to hear from you.
