Every Photographer Has a Style—and Some Photos Are Meant to Last

Photography is more than a visual exercise. It’s a way to interpret reality, tell stories, and shape how we communicate. Recently, during a visit to a sunflower field, I captured two very different images: one showing a photographer in action with a model surrounded by flowers, and another; a close-up of a bee interacting with the flower’s center. Same location, same moment, two completely different perspectives.

This contrast illustrates a deeper concept: every photographer develops a unique style over time. This personal approach influences how we capture portraits, events, products, or even marketing content. The modern “universal photographer” adapts their vision to many contexts; professional events, brand campaigns, social media, institutional documentation; while maintaining a consistent creative identity.


For those starting to build a personal brand or creative business, here are some practical insights:



  • Don’t limit yourself to one genre; try portraits, products, and events to discover your strengths.
  • Treat photography as a strategic asset. It can define your message more clearly than words.
  • Know your tools. You don’t need high-end gear, but you must master lighting, focus, and storytelling.
  • Align your visuals with your audience. Especially in marketing, your images must resonate with the people you're trying to reach.
  • Stay authentic. Inspiration is useful, but your style should reflect your voice and your purpose.


In a saturated world of visuals, only some photos truly last. What makes them different? A strong intention, a clear message, and emotional relevance.


If you're working in marketing, content creation, or visual branding, remember: great photography is not just what we see—it’s what we remember.

Kairos is the right, critical or opportune moment that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. Why is kairos so important to me or you? March 2024 has been an intense and transformative month for me because it underscored the power of kairos in my life. I traveled extensively with my family, first exploring the west coast of the United States and then traveling to Colombia in South America. In Colombia, I experienced kairos while spending time with my nieces and contributing to one of their thesis projects through a documentary about my father's life and legacy. This experience reaffirmed my connection with photography. That's called kairos. For me, photography is more than just a profession; It is a passion that allows me to capture not only images but also moments full of emotion and meaning.
