Our Guides
Meet our expert photographers
Kevin Rodríguez
Street photographer with 5+ years of experience, focused on color, layering, and building strong compositions in complex urban scenes. He has photographed across different countries and environments, and brings practical experience working with the most common focal lengths in street photography, including 28mm, 35mm, and 50mm.
Luis Viedma
Born during the stillness of COVID, Luis's photography began on the streets of Bogotá with an analog camera and a curiosity for the life unfolding just outside. Street photography became more than a hobby for him; it became a way of seeing. What defines his work most is proximity. He is not afraid to get close, to be present in the moment, and to let that closeness translate into honest, unguarded images. Bogotá has been his classroom, and its streets continue to teach him something new every day.
