The Closet Voyeur: Luis y Angel

I don´t remember when I started following Luis on instagram, but the moment I went through his photos I knew I had to ask him to be part of the Closet Voyeur. So immediately (immediately in this case means months later) I sent him a message asking him, and, luckily, he said yes.

And yes, the Closet Voyeur is back!

Luis is an Industrial Designer who teaches at CENTRO and lives with his boyfriend and journalist Angel. They make such a great couple.

I’ve done over 30 Closets by now, and every one of them has had a different process. Some have been quick and easy, other slow and … not so easy. This time, the fact that Luis and Angel invited us for breakfast made this Closet shoot hugely enjoyable and gloriously slow. Not only was it great to be fed, but meanwhile Angel was cooking and Luis was helping him we could sneak around their apartment undisturbed and really take our time photographing every corner.

We are really happy with the result and hope you are too.

Dream
Angel: A dream is a starting point, the place where you build your deepest wishes. It’s also like a sketch of what I want.
Luis: A dream is flying with no wings, huge rabbits, stars you can touch. But I also believe in simple dreams: like a bakery where I can share stories and a cup of coffee. (He bakes great vegan cookies.)
