About

John grew up in Colombia and in his early 20s moved to the US. With a background in graphic design and plastic arts, he continued his education at the Academy of Arts in Denver CO. A self-awarded funniest dad and husband, John has nailed it every year. John is currently based in the East Bay area
John's studio portraiture is defined by high contrast images on the side of fine art style with a sense of adventure in motion. John's images are creative, colorful, irreverent, spontaneous, and fun. His non-traditional camera angles can convey empowerment and the vulnerability behind it for those who love to write between lines.
John has a knack for experimenting with lines and shadows in his close-up portraits. Faces shots that capture feelings immersed in unexpected activities are another area of strength.
