They sketch before they click. Anna Devís and Daniel Rueda are a Spanish photographic duo whose work radiates joy, precision, and that rare synergy where architecture becomes playground.

Both trained as architects, they turned their shared love for geometry, color, and visual storytelling into image-making that delights in the unexpected. Their vision feels familiar yet fresh: clean lines, bold shapes, minimalism, humour. They hunt for façades, urban corners, poolsides, walls and staircases — anything architectural with personality — then set about transforming these spaces with props, color, and absurd twist.

Anna draws the initial sketches. They plan their image down to scale, choose colors, outfits, props — sometimes everyday objects repurposed — then they place themselves or others into these spaces with remarkable care. Natural light is their constant companion. They avoid heavy Photoshop intervention, preferring to build their scenes in real life: painted panels, matching outfits, playful props, perfectly timed moments.

What emerges is something magical: humans dancing with the built environment. A balloon becomes a sun. A striped wall becomes part of a grin. A pool float, painted to match the sky, turns the wearer into a whimsy-figure. Their compositions are witty without being silly, precise without being cold. Each image invites a double-take — on how simple shapes and bright color can shift your sense of scale and surprise.

Their work is deeply grounded in place: València informs their light; Spanish architecture provides their canvas; global travel offers new walls, pools, textures. Yet their signature remains unmistakable. They are working at the intersection of architecture, performance, minimalism, and fun.

As Hasselblad Ambassadors and former figures on Forbes’ “30 Under 30,” they balance commercial collaborations with a personal archive of joy-filled urbanity. Their images feel like little stories; each one carries personality, tension, and that quietly radical act: to care about place, color, and scale enough to imagine them differently.

Anna & Daniel remind us that photography is not just recording what is, but inventing what could be — through shape, light, and laughter.
