Capture time, make the moment a myth. Letting oneself be inspired by the beauty that is expressed beyond what is seen, is to portray the meaning, the story, that is what Juan Virgüez does when he dedicates himself to discovering through the camera a new chapter for creation.
Loaded with professionalism, commitment and passion for photography, he follows his natural instinct to compose a unique atmosphere, making the extraordinary use of his technique which will be reflected in photographs that will become immortal and unique.
His secret is teamwork, he has great empathy and personality. Always full of patience, kindness and generosity, he will allow you to be part of the process, where the artist will be you, the protagonist will be the moment. Born ambassador of creative confluence.
Juan Virgüez is a sensible photographer, endlessly creative, reinventing himself at all times, always ready to offer the best of himself. His passion for gastronomic and portrait photography drives him to capture moments that are beyond words and that are the surreal visual hymn. His art is the echo of what was and what will always be, through shadows, lights, colors, textures and extensive visual possibilities.
For Juan Virgüez, the muse will always be the search for the creation of new images in which clean aesthetics and a lot of creativity prevail. For him there is no effort in his art and he considers that everything he does to make an image memorable will be worth it for him and his team.

Creating an impressive image that would captivate the viewer, inviting them to turn their gaze over and over again, was the initial approach, the objective was clear, and the challenge was focused on the mix of techniques we wanted for this image, flying food, hi speed photography, splash, and power.
The result you see is the product of the efforts of all of us who participated in this project, my art director and food styling Leticia Esteves, and my photography assistant and right-hand woman Susana Gow, without you this would not be possible.

Sushi in Latin America is a fusion of flavors and ingredients, a combination of textures and a lot of colors resulting in a feast of flavors on the palate, the sweet sauce, the creaminess of the avocado, the crispiness of the cucumber blend with the intensity of the flavor of the crab.
