I was born in 1987 in Ciénaga, Magdalena, a town on the Caribbean coast of Colombia. I’m a Colombian photographer based in New York City, with roots that blend the warmth of the Costeño coast and the detail-driven spirit of the Paisa mountains. My work spans a broad spectrum — from the intimacy of engagements and weddings, to expressive portraits, headshots, and social events, to the intricate world of macro and fine art photography. I shoot in both digital and analog formats, offering 35mm and 120mm film photography for clients who appreciate the rich texture and timeless beauty of film. I also specialize in film digitization and professio

With over a decade of experience as a professional photographer in NYC, I pour my heart into every project, whether it’s a portrait or an e-commerce shoot. My passion for photography comes alive both behind the camera and in the way I connect with people, helping them feel comfortable while capturing their best selves. While I focus mainly on portrait and commercial work, I also take on select weddings and events. Having transitioned from a career in corporate finance, I understand the importance of professional headshots, and I aim to deliver images that not only look great but also reflect your authentic personality. I work with both film

Your photography questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Fash.

How much does a photographer cost?

The average cost to hire a photographer is $100 to $250 per hour, depending on their experience. However, photography prices vary significantly depending on the type of event or photo session:

Do you tip photographers?

The standard tipping etiquette for photographers depends on the type of photo session or event and how happy you are with the photographer's service:

  • Tip a wedding photographer $50 to $200 if the photographer exceeds your expectations. If the photographer works with a second shooter, be sure to tip the second photographer separately.
  • Consider tipping a family portrait photographer, pet photographer, or newborn photographer if you're happy with the photo session. However, tipping is not expected for family portraits taken at a big box store like JC Penney or Wal-Mart.
  • Tipping a photographer is not expected for headshots, commercial photography, real estate photography, or architectural photos.

If you're happy with the photographer's service, post a positive review online and share their photos on your social media.

How can I save money on a photographer?

Follow these tips to save money when you hire a photographer:

  • Book a "mini-session" – a shorter photo session that lasts only 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Choose your favorite photographers and follow them on social media. Some photographers may provide deals and exclusive offers.
  • Hire a less experienced photographer. However, be sure to review their portfolio to confirm they have enough skill to meet your photo needs.
  • Purchase prints from an online retailer instead of ordering them from the photographer.
  • Bundle multiple photo sessions for a discounted price. Some wedding photographers bundle engagement and wedding photos. Other photographers offer a bundle for newborn photos plus additional sessions as your child grows.

How far in advance should I book a photographer?

Book a wedding photographer as early as possible, ideally as soon as you've confirmed the date with your venue. Headshot, commercial, pet, and family portrait photographers typically don't require as much advanced notice. However, a popular, in-demand photographer may be booked out several months in advance.

How can I find the best photographer near me?

Follow these guidelines when searching for a photographer to ensure you find one who is the best match for you:

  • Look for photographers who specialize in the type of photography you want. A photographer who specializes in weddings won't be the best choice for a newborn baby photo shoot, and vice versa.
  • Review their online portfolios to confirm you like their photography style and aesthetic.
  • Read photographer reviews on Fash and Google.
  • Get a contract in writing before making a deposit.
  • Discuss the photo usage and printing rights to confirm how both you and the photographer can use the images. Photographers typically retain the copyright to the images, allowing them to use the photos for marketing and social media.

What questions should I ask a photographer?

Ask these questions to help you choose the best photographer for your needs:

  • How long have you been in business?
  • What type of photography do you specialize in?
  • What is your photography style?
  • Do you have an online portfolio I can view?
  • How far in advance should I book my photo shoot?
  • What deposit do you require, and is it refundable?
  • Do you have a photo studio? If not, where will you take the photos?
  • What should I do to prepare for the photo session?
  • How will you deliver the final photos to me?
  • How long will it take to get the photos?
  • Do you offer printed items or photo albums?
  • Who owns the rights to the photos?
  • Will you use my images on social media or your website portfolio?

Reviews for Newark photographers

Recent success stories from people in the Newark area.
Joe D.
Tony has done the photography for our yearly catalog and website for the last 3 years. Each session lasted about 4 - 5 days doing individual product and beauty shots. Tony provided creative suggestions for the beauty shots which were almost always wonderful. When we didn't agree with his suggestions, he had no issues with a new idea. He clearly is an excellent photographer but the quality that stands out is how easy he is to work with. He was flexible with time schedules and truly made an effort to understand our needs. The resulting photos clearly showed he understood and translated our ideas into great shots. He also suggested creating photos that could also be used for our Ad campaigns. Tony would be great for any photography needs and would be an asset for the novice or experienced client!
