Fashion, beauty and lifestyle photographer

Specialist in storytelling and strategic visual content for brands, artists and professionals. Photography and video services.

Available in Valencia, Madrid, Barcelona, and nationwide.

I’m Daniel Emperador, a professional photographer specializing in fashion, beauty, and lifestyle. I create visual content that communicates and tells stories. I blend my background in journalism with my experience and training as a professional photographer to convey emotions and unique messages in every project. Telling stories with words is not the same as telling them without them.

Originally from Venezuela, I’ve been living in Spain for about nine years. I hold a degree in Journalism and Advertising from Arturo Michelena University (Venezuela) and have trained as a professional photographer, completing an 800-hour diploma at Espai d’Art Fotogràfic (Valencia), a 140-hour program at Escuela Revelarte (Valencia), and a one-year online scholarship from Adobe Latam.

I’ve also participated in workshops with Godox Spain, Sony Alpha, Canon, Phase One, Innovahaus, Kina Photo, PHoto España, Profoto, Fotima Import, and professionals such as Iván Dumond, Juan Giménez, Lidia Vives, Antonio Garci, and Valencia Photo, among others.

Beyond photography, I’ve expanded my focus to the audiovisual field, creating videos known for their elegance and visual storytelling. My style blends naturalness, simplicity, and spontaneity, always infused with soul and genuine emotions. Every project is an opportunity to explore new ideas, evolve, and push my own limits while staying true to my artistic essence.

I am currently based in Valencia, frequently working in Madrid and Barcelona. I am available for national and international projects

Valoa Studio: An Extension of My Work

I created Valoa Studio, an independent project and portfolio focused on the sectors of well-being, aesthetics, and lifestyle. We help commercial brands, personal brands, and businesses transform their ideas and words into images and videos that communicate, connect, and increase their sales potential. Thanks to this initiative and the experience I’ve gained, I was selected as one of the 50 global scholarship recipients by Adobe in their commercial photography education program.
