Hi, I’m Iringó, a photographer in Tenerife

I photograph people, places and food with sensitivity, curiosity and an eye for atmosphere. My aim is simple: images that feel natural, honest and like you.

Why I photograph

I’m Iringó Simon, also known as Rini, a photographer based in north-west Tenerife, near Puerto de la Cruz. I work with portraits, events, movement-based sessions and food photography for restaurants and brands, and I love photographing couples and families on holiday.

I moved to Tenerife from Budapest in January 2024, drawn by the beauty of the island, the good weather, a bit of adventure and the chance to grow as a person. I’m learning Spanish: I understand more than I speak, so it is still a work in progress.

I photograph because I like the moment when someone stops performing and simply is. A look, a laugh, the way two people lean towards each other. Those are the pictures people keep.

My background in art and photography shaped the way I see people and spaces: with sensitivity, curiosity and a strong attention to atmosphere. I like to bring something extra into each shoot, through light, composition or a small creative choice, so that images feel both real and visually distinctive.

What a session with me feels like

Most people tell me they feel awkward in front of a camera. That is completely fine. We start with a relaxed chat by WhatsApp or e-mail, and on the day I give you simple, gentle directions – walk, talk, play with the waves – and photograph what happens in between. You do not need to know how to pose.

I speak English and Hungarian, and I plan every session around your holiday, your hotel and the best light of the day. You leave with an instant photo in your hand, and your edited photos follow in a private online gallery.

Art background, practical approach

I studied photography at the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest and I have exhibited in Hungary and Greece. That training gives me a trained eye for composition and light, which I use to keep sessions simple and the results calm and natural.
