Beach Photoshoot in Tarifa with Model Duna – By Ben Welsh

On the magical coast of Tarifa, where the wind dances with the waves and the sunlight caresses every inch of the landscape, I had the pleasure of capturing this artistic photoshoot with the stunning model Duna. A visual experience blending the natural beauty of southern Spain with the bold, expressive presence of a powerful model — all seen through the lens of a professional photographer in Tarifa.

A natural paradise: Tarifa’s coastline

Tarifa, located at the southernmost point of Europe, is a photographer’s dream. Golden dunes, turquoise waters, and the ever-present Levante wind create a cinematic backdrop for any shoot. This particular session was set on one of the most serene beaches in the area, where the white sand and deep blue sea meet under a vast Andalusian sky.

Duna: Strength, elegance, and natural energy

Model Duna brought powerful energy and effortless grace to this shoot. Her confident presence and natural beauty resonated with the raw elements of the location. Whether in a bold blue bikini or a soft white one, Duna embodied two distinct moods — freshness and serenity, empowerment and softness.

The flowing yellow fabric added movement, contrast, and symbolism: a free, radiant woman in perfect sync with nature and herself. Her poses express emotion, strength, and an unspoken dialogue with the sea and the wind.

Artistic vision by Ben Welsh

As a professional photographer based in Tarifa, my goal with this shoot was to go beyond aesthetics. I aimed to capture not just beauty, but a deeper connection between the model and the environment — the subtle tension between body, fabric, and nature.

My style blends fashion photography, fine art, and a strong influence from the Andalusian landscape. Working with natural light, I play with shadows, texture, and vibrant tones to tell a story in each image. Selective focus and foreground blur (grasses, dunes) were used as a creative frame, adding intimacy and depth to the shots.

Technical details and natural elements

The session was shot under bright sun and a moderate Levante wind — ideal conditions for this type of dynamic, sun-soaked imagery. I used a Nikon D850 and a telephoto lens to isolate Duna against the backdrop of the sea, capturing crisp details and dramatic light.

The breeze became an active character in the shoot — animating the fabric, moving the hair, and breathing life into every frame.
