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 never overdone. They care less about ticking boxes and more about how the day will feel later, when they look back at it. They’re not looking for someone to arrange them into perfect pictures, but for someone who sees them clearly.

I’m Justina. Lithuanian, raised in Spain, based in Barcelona. Before photography, I spent fifteen years working as a fashion model, living in different countries for long stretches of time. Those years shaped the way I observe people and eventually led me to the other side of the lens. It’s where I learned how light changes a feeling, when someone is performing and when they’ve forgotten the camera is there, and why the photographs people return to are rarely the ones that were planned.

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.
