Bio & Client Kudos


Juan is a pro photographer whose passion is creating compelling photographs that
artfully showcase people, products, and places. He has a BA in advertising from
Michigan State University and benefits from the perspective gained working in his
father's art studio in Detroit, and then in account management at advertising
agencies in Miami, Minneapolis & New York.

Juan left agency work to follow his muse & over the last 20 years has had the good
fortune to shoot for clients as varied as Coldwater Creek, Kroger's, Linfield College,
Nikon, Tillamook Dairy and Widmer Brewing. Juan's work has earned a number of
awards including PSCA's Prismas, Print Magazine, and CASE.

"Juan is such a great person to have on a project. He knows his own work, but also
brings to it years of agency experience that makes the entire project go smoother,
from client interaction to getting final files approved. He does what he says he's
going to do, and never calls the job done until everyone involved is satisfied
with every aspect of the work. Thanks Juan." - Dru Martin, June 30, 2010
