Alhambra Palace, Granada

This shot can only be taken at a certain time of year, between 6 & 8pm in the evening. I needed a sunset, snow on the mountains, a clear sky and golden light on the northern façade of this magnificent Moorish monument. This image was the result of 3 nights work, the first night the clouds obscured the view of the Sierra Nevada, the second night no sunset and finally, on the third night, success! The image was commissioned for an advertising campaign by the Spanish Tourist Board. It has been published worldwide including an ad for Spain in National Geographic Magazine.

Spain – 100,000 stock images and the library is still growing!

Over the last 15 years, Michelle Chaplow has created a specialist collection of images on Spain. The library of stock photography began life in the age of ‘the slide’ as the Andalucia Slide Library and now the collection extends to the whole of mainland Spain, including the Canary Islands and the Balearic Islands. Continuous travel around Spain brings a constant flow of new and vibrant photographic images to the collection. Our location in Spain gives us the advantage of an in-depth knowledge of the Iberian peninsula and we are often able to meet the more obscure stock photography requests through our network of individual specialist photographers.
