Barcelona remains as one of the most popular location references for car spots around the world. On this occasion, Kia from Korea chose the Spanish city for their Kia Picanto campaign. It was a 4 day shoot with director Min Soo Kim, that showcased some of the best locations the city has to offer.

Another sunny afternoon in Spain and another photo shoot. This time, Team Works collaborated with UK´s lifestyle magazine Monocle, for their editorial photo session on Benidorm, in southern Spain. A two day shoot with photographer Mark Sanders along Benidorm's new and colourful promenade.

David Ruiz presents a series of personal and published works which have been displayed in various spaces, most notably his involvement with model Lena Fishman, for an exhibition held at the fashion industry show The Brandery Barcelona 2011.

We see the natural strength of the characters portrayed in one of his latest personal projects "Look what?" in collaboration with different people who lend their eyes to the photographer for a brief moment in time.

Highlighted amongst David Ruiz’s work is the campaign for Hero Baby, and the cover photo and the editorial for the first issue of the new magazine Lotus Renault F1 with one of their drivers Vitaly Petrov.  In order to realise this shoot David moved his entire team up to the speed circuit of Valencia during the European Grand Prix.

David also reminds us of his recent landscape photography with these two stunning panoramic examples of his work.
