Raúl Durán
Spanish photographer living in Budapest specialized in ballet and dance photography.
Hey there, it’s Raúl Durán, and no worries, I will keep this short: I’m a Spanish photographer living in Budapest for more than a decade. Before having a camera I used to draw professionally. A younger version of me studied in ESDIP (Escuela Superior de Dibujo Profesional) in Madrid back in the early 2000s. I was lucky to work in several areas involving drawing, from storyboarding, text and children’s books, and even a couple of animated short films. One day I got a camera and started to play with it. It turned out that I quite enjoyed it and kept doing it and learning, and even better, some people wanted me to take photos of them! So that’s what I do nowadays. I focus a lot on dance and ballet photography, but if you’ve seen my portfolio, you’ll see that I also work a lot doing portraits and commercial work.

Raul is a wonderful artist and an amazing person. I truly recommend him for all kind of photo sessions. We did a family portrait session with him, which is in my opinion the hardest to manage and accomplish with a 2 yr old boy, a 1 wk old girl and a 10+ dog ? we got amazing pictures, which will serve as wonderful memories for eternity. He was unbelievably patient and calm ☺️ I would love to give 100 stars if possible

Wir haben Raul für unsere Hochzeit in Wien engagiert und sind so glücklich, dass er unseren besonderen Tag in Fotos verewigt hat. Wir konnten uns vor seiner Kamera unter seinen und Elena Anweisungen natürlich und frei bewegen und konnten somit unseren Fotos eine persönliche Note verleihen. Seine Betreuung war sehr einfühlsam, die Nachbearbeitung unglaublich rasch! Er hatte uns ein Komplettpaket zu einem Spitzenpreis angeboten. Wir sind sehr zufrieden!

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.

Raul is a great photographer to work with. He is professional, knows the sites well, easy and fun to work with. At each spot, he took more than plenty of photos and took time to make sure I was happy about them before moving on to the next location. I highly recommend working with him.
