Sorry for the short text here. I have been very busy this week. This picture series includes trips to ''white village'' Mijas on the mountains and luxurious Marbella known for its yacht harbour.

Kimi - Fuengirola - Finally some big waves /week 4
The 4th week is windy. The gap between two wave breakers is full of surfers and paddlers riding the ocean. With me there was several other photographers sharing the rare possibility too.
Later my friends from work suggested me to go see spanish league football in Malaga. A Local team Malaga C.F. versus Levante UD playing their last game of the season. The La Rosaleda stadium wasn’t really packed but the atmosphere of those 25 000 football fans cheering still left me impressed.
The last picture is from the yard of my apartment. What killed the little dragon we may never now, but I suspect it was either the neighbours cat or that mean looking sparrow above it.

Kimi - Fuengirola - Mountains&butterflies/week 3
On the third week of my time here I did some travelling on towns nearby. At first I found myself from a butterfly park in Benalmadena. A large green house with heavy humidity in the air and butterflies floating everywhere -and a wallaby jumping around. Luckily also I was allowed to take photos there.
Later that week I took a bus to mountains and place called Ronda. A city with bridges on both sides of it 100 metres high. It was easily worth the hot and shaky bus ride to get to shoot these amazing landscapes on that trip.
One of my favourite gigs also took place at this week. The fashion show in bar Mask. Girls cat walking
on a red carpet, lots of balloons, french language and sparkling wine bottles. And of course a Drag queen.

Pavel - Barcelona week 7
We continued with retouching from last week,
but I also took some time to make my school portfolio. After work I stayed at
the studio to try on the different set up's to make studio shootings. The
studio has a large selection of equipments so it is really nice to try those in
different shootings.
During my freetime I did kitesurfing, one of
my favourites. The winds haven't been favourable until now, so when the
forecast was good, we took a train and got to the sandy beach about 15 km to
South from Barcelona, great place for kiting.
Pavel - Barcelona week 6
In the studio this week we have been
retouching the photos. I have had many lessons from the the others in the
studio about that.
When away from studio, we have walked around
the city. There is so much to see - every walk gives you a new point of view to
this charming city.
Kimi - Fuengirola - The International Fair /week 2
I still can’t believe how these people here react to cameras. In Finland I’m used to that people don’t want to be in photos and are in shame and afraid of something. Here people are more like honoured if I choose to include them in the frame when shooting in public places. I have asked a few locals if I could take an intimate profile picture of them and they are often more than happy to pose for me.
The photos below are mainly from big and well known annual fair here in Fuengirola called “La Feria de los Pueblos”. The main theme of the fair is the cultures of the world. It takes place on a long street and on both sides of that street is a row of houses, each with one big room inside. In every house there is a different country and a culture represented -often with live music acts and a bar serving traditional foods and beverages of that country. This year there was over 30 countries taking part and thousands of people "exploring the world". This was an amazing opportunity for me as a photographer. I could almost redo my whole portfolio in a single day.
The rest of the images below are from the other gigs for the magazine.
