Raúl Durán
Hello, I’m Raúl Durán, a Spanish photographer based in Budapest, Hungary, where I’ve lived and worked for over a decade. I bring extensive experience in capturing the artistry and movement of dancers, which has become the heart of my work. My photography journey began after a career as a professional illustrator, working on storyboards, children’s books, and animated short films. But my long-standing love for dance—especially tango, which I’ve practiced for over ten years—drew me to photograph dancers. Today, my portfolio spans various dance styles, including classical ballet, contemporary, tango, and pole dance, allowing me to combine my artistic vision with my deep appreciation for the world of dance.
Raul is very kind, nice and friendly person, professional and creative! I’m always enjoying the process of shooting and the result is amazing as well! His pictures are full of colours, perfect composition and unique style!

Just do it! It was an amazing experience. We left Budapest, not only with amazing photos, but amazing memories of this city. Raul was amazing, we spent the morning with him and he told us a lot about the city. The pictures are amazing! We loved it! If you’re not sure, let me clear up your mind: go and have this amazing experience.

From coordinating the appointment to the day of the photo shoot, he is the best! He captured the most beautiful photos of my daughter that I will forever treasure! Raul is creative and gives great attention to detail! You will love working with Raul! Nia Pratiwi2023-07-26 During my Europe summer holiday, I went to many places and also engaged with professional photographers to take home moments captured in picture as a lifelong souvenir. Raul has been and still is the best photographer. All pictures taken have strong characters. It not only capture the beauty of the scenery but also you best angle. It is just impossible to choose which ones I love the most. 5 start is just underrated! Thank Raul. Hope to see you again. Gabriella Köbli2022-09-06 Raúl has not only the eye of a photographer, but also he has a reassuring personality. His positive affective presence helps you to feel at ease, so you shine even better on your photo. Matilda Patsou2022-07-14 Raul is amazing! Friendly and professional - this is not a typical "rushed" photoshoot session. We worked together twice: shot pictures for my business and also did an awesome photoshoot at the castle area. He really takes the time to know you and the message you want to share, which is really important especially for business photos. I loved the result both times and recommend him to everyone. :) Thanks Raul! zsofia fischer2022-07-03 Raúl kedves és szuper fotós. Egy jótékonysági fotózáson vettünk részt nála, családostul.

I cannot wait to see the pics! Alina22/06/2023 An amazing experience! It turned out to be a very romantic experience for my partner and I. This was one of the most memorable things we did in Budapest and we have photos to prove it! Great communication from start to finish. Raul is truly professional and knows what he is doing - catches the best lighting, can offer guidance in posing and makes you feel very comfortable. He takes very natural photos and captures you in your best moments. Photos don’t look posed or staged but natural and happy. We were able to do couple and individual photos and we had so many amazing ones that it was hard to choose because we liked them all! If we come back to Budapest, we will do this again.
