The photographers
We are Carlos F. Villagomez and Miguel Martinez, photographers based in South Monterey County, driven by our shared passion for capturing the beauty of the human form, with a particular focus on the male body. Operating outside of a traditional studio, we create our art in our home space and utilize available environments, transforming challenges into catalysts for our creativity.
Carlos's artistic journey began at the San Francisco Art Institute, where he immersed himself in figure modeling and discovered his love for capturing human essence through photography. Miguel found his calling behind the camera as a self-taught portrait photographer, developing a keen eye for design and composition over time.
Collaboratively, we explore the art of photographing the body, drawing inspiration from diverse mediums such as paintings, drawings, sculpture, and cinematography. Our work merges classical influences with contemporary perspectives, aiming to reveal timeless beauty and expression.
