Our Story

Auren Studio was born from the meeting of two complementary sensibilities. Federico's background lies in art, fashion photography, and editorial visual language. Marta comes from the field of psychology, where she integrates photography as a tool for listening, connection, and storytelling, using art as a means of personal expression and growth. Together, they combine aesthetics and observation to create authentic, contemporary visual narratives.

Every project begins with listening, observation, and the pursuit of a balance between light, materiality, and atmosphere. We create timeless, authentic, and essential images designed to reveal the unique identity of each space.
