ABOUT LUCILLA
Photographs that hold the poetry of who you are.
I’m Lucilla Bellini, an Italian-born professional portrait photographer based in Tenerife, Canary Islands, with 20 years’ experience in photography. I create natural, cinematic photographs for people who want images that feel personal rather than posed.
Every session is shaped around light, landscape and connection — from volcanic coastlines and quiet beaches to the open spaces of South Tenerife.
I speak Italian, English, Spanish and French.

VISITING THE CANARY ISLANDS ON VACATION?
A holiday in Tenerife, turned into memory
I photograph couples, families and solo travellers during their stay,
from the beaches of El Médano and La Tejita to the volcanic landscapes of the south.
We plan everything before you arrive, so you only have to enjoy the light.
I am a dreamer and I will always be.
My style is emotive, cinematic and creative, fresh and natural.
I love to make a connection with my subjects to capture an aesthetic moment,
where the light, the natural elements and the human beings interact
to create an instant of beauty.

Stories
It’s an incredible privilege to tell the inspiring stories
of individuals, couples, families and friends that trust my eye
to capture their memories forever with a photo shoot in Tenerife
THE EXPERIENCE
Planning your Tenerife photoshoot.
Every session begins with a conversation about your story,
your preferences and the feeling you would like the photographs to hold.
Your vision
We define a mood, a location and a rhythm that feel right for you.
Styling and wardrobe
After we choose the concept, I send you a mood board and simple advice on what to wear. For maternity sessions you can borrow a dress from my maternity wardrobe, free of charge. Read my guide on what to wear for a photoshoot in Tenerife.
Natural locations
From volcanic landscapes to quiet beaches, Tenerife offers a remarkable variety of natural settings.
Light and atmosphere
Sessions are usually planned around sunrise or sunset for soft, cinematic light.
Extra Service
I offer also a selection of trusted make-up artists and hairstylists who can be chosen to complete the session.
Natural places and natural light
The natural element is very important in my photographic production, I not only photograph my subjects almost exclusively in natural places and natural light, but what most interests me is to allow natural elements such as wind, water, light and sand to interfere with my models and with the photographic medium to create an atmospheric mood.
My favourite locations are: Costa Adeje, El Médano, Los Cristianos, Playa de las Américas, Costa del Silencio
KIND WORDS
From people who trusted me with their stories.

Lucilla was so lovely to work with. She photographed my family of 17 and was insanely patient and kind. Her photographs are stunning and she has given us memories that will last a lifetime.
She was very professional and responsive from our very first interaction and chose a fantastic spot to capture our photos. I would highly recommend Lucilla!
Highly highly highly recommend Lucilla! She was absolutely great from beginning to end. Extremely prompt and detailed throughout the entire process as well as flexible and accommodating & not to mention her positive energy. I flew to Tenerife specifically to be photographed by her and everything exceeded my expectations. 😊
My partner wanted to propose to me on the Canary Islands and we found Lucilla's website and we were blown away by the amazing portfolio she had. We decided to book a photoshoot she helped us choose q place for the proposal, gave us amazing tips on what to wear, how to pose. We had an amazing time.
I highly recommend! Best photoshoot we've ever had! ❤️❤️❤️
We absolutely loved our shoot with Lucilla! We were visiting Tenerife and wanted to capture some photos, and Lucilla captured it beautifully! She made us feel at ease, and it was a really relaxed session, and the photos have come out better than we expected. Would 100% recommend Lucilla!! Thank you so much x
Lucilla was a dream to work with! Flexible and gave great pre-shoot advice, and made us feel comfortable on site. We absolutely adore the end result photos (from a maternity shoot while on our babymoon) and have gotten raving compliments on them. If we’re ever back in the Canary Islands, will absolutely reach out to Lucilla to schedule another shoot!
We booked a sunrise photoshoot session with Lucilla for our honeymoon in Tenerife and could not be more thrilled with our photos! Each and every photo in our gallery was so thoughtfully composed, and the colors, lighting, and angles blew us away. Our photos are really natural and don’t come across as “posed”, which is exactly what we were hoping for. The experience itself was seamless - Lucilla is super communicative and worked with us to scout out locations and even choose our outfits! Lucilla is so dedicated to her craft, she was even climbing rocks and standing in water just to get the perfect shot. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience, and for giving us such beautiful photos to remember our honeymoon by!
