stories from

menorca


Photography that captures
the soul of the island

Menorca has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It’s where I learned to slow down, to notice, to photograph not just what I see – but what I feel.

Today, this intimate knowledge of the island is woven into my work – through its quiet spaces, its light and the stories that live around every table – creating imagery that feels authentic, rooted and alive with Mediterranean spirit.

Whether you’re a Menorcan restaurant, hotel, producer or local business wanting to showcase what makes your place special, we’ll create photography that captures both your story and the authentic spirit of our beautiful island.

Let’s chat!

about

Lou IN MENORCA


I’m Lou – a photographer who splits her time between the Cotswolds and Menorca, where this beautiful island has shaped both my creative eye and my way of life.


Menorca has been part of my world for over 40 years – it’s where my family found home, and where I return season after season. That long-standing connection influences everything I photograph here. I don’t just know the locations – I know the rhythms, the quiet corners, the kind of light that makes something feel like Menorca.

I work with Menorcan restaurants, hotels, producers and local businesses who want to showcase their authentic connection to the island through compelling visual storytelling. I also collaborate with UK and European brands looking for genuine Mediterranean backdrops, supported by the local knowledge that only time and experience bring.

Every project benefits from established island relationships, deep cultural understanding and a photographer’s eye shaped by Menorca’s extraordinary landscapes, flavours and pace.

planning your

menorca shoot


Thinking about a project in Menorca? Or just curious about what might be possible? Let’s chat – no pressure, just ideas.

I’m in Menorca throughout the year and can plan around seasonal projects or key dates. Let’s chat about what works best for you.

Both! I work with Menorca-based businesses as well as UK brands looking to shoot in this beautiful setting.

Each project is tailored to you – whether it’s a half-day capturing your space or a multi-day story. We’ll create a brief and shoot plan aligned to your goals.

I can guide you through basic permit needs and help connect you with trusted local contacts if needed.

I work in English and I’m gradually expanding my Spanish – and I’ve found that kindness, clear planning and creative vision go a long way wherever you are.
