I am a videojournalist, documentary photographer, and filmmaker based in Madrid, Spain. My work focuses on capturing stories that connect current affairs with human experience, combining fast-turnaround news coverage with longer-form visual storytelling. Before moving back to Spain, I was based in Hong Kong and later in Dakar, Senegal, where I covered politics, social movements, conflict, and culture across Asia and West Africa. From the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong to elections in Senegal, as well as regional stories in Mali and Burkina Faso, I’ve reported from complex and fast-changing environments for both photography and video. My work has appeared in international outlets including BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera, Euronews, TRT World, The New York Times, The Guardian, AFP, Getty Images, Bloomberg News, El País, and Médecins Sans Frontières, among others. Over the years, I have also covered economic stories, produced in-depth features, and documented major sporting events such as international rugby, football, and golf. In addition to field reporting, I also edit video and photography, drawing on years of experience working with wire services and broadcasters where speed, accuracy, and editorial judgement are essential. I am interested in building long-term collaborations with news organisations and production companies, bringing both journalistic rigour and creative storytelling to each assignment.

It's estimated that more than 500,000 migrants in Spain are undocumented, denied basic rights, and face difficulties finding work. As EU leaders convene in Brussels to sign off on tougher migration restrictions, Xaume Olleros looks at the economic benefits of a migrant workforce for the EU.
Spain is experiencing an influx of foreign talent, which is driving growth despite a stubbornly high unemployment rate. Legally employed and documented immigrants have boosted the labour force, which now comprises 18.1% foreigners - well above the EU average. While undocumented migration grabs headlines and ignites far-right rhetoric, these foreign workers are silently making the Spanish economy thrive, flocking to Spain as the country struggles to find suitable local candidates.
Residents of Spain's worst disaster in a century are struggling to come to terms with devastation wrought by chaotic flooding. But as volunteers gather to help them pick up the pieces, gratitude mixes with sorrow amongst the deluge.
More than two weeks after the devastating floods in Paiporta, Spain, the city is still grappling with the aftermath. While the government has promised recovery efforts, the local community remains frustrated and uncertain.
Cities across Spain have recently witnessed a surge in protests against mass tourism, driven by a sharp rise in rental costs. Locals say short-term rentals, especially via platforms like Airbnb, worsen the housing shortage.
Two weeks after devastating floods struck southern Valencia, over 200 lives have been lost, and dozens remain missing. Emergency teams, alongside volunteers and specialised dogs, continue to comb through challenging terrain, hoping to bring closure to affected families.
More than four million people have fled Ukraine since Russia started its attack. Spain was one of the first countries to allow Ukrainian refugees to move and work freely within the bloc. But this response is not the same for all countries at war.
Why are Ukrainian refugees struggling to settle in Spain? Only about 15% of working-age Ukrainian refugees in Spain have found a job compared to an average of 40% elsewhere in Europe. For EURONEWS
Spain's new Digital Nomad Visa is part of a start-up law aimed at attracting creatives and integrating them into the community. For EURONEWS
