Keep Scrolling

Hello there! I'm Joel Valenzuela, a passionate full-time photographer originally from Tucson, Arizona, now based in Mexico City.

My work is inspired by the mantra "Inspire, get lost, explore." It stems from my deep appreciation for people and my relentless pursuit to showcase extraordinary destinations worldwide. My curiosity drives me to immerse myself in diverse cultures, traditions, and the unknown. As Augustine of Hippo once said, "The world is a book, and those who do not travel only read one page."

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of collaborating with esteemed global brands like Ford, Toyota, and Honda. My portfolio extends to various domains, including product photography in food, retail, and electronics. However, my true passion lies in capturing the essence of individuals through portraits, parties, headshots, engagements, weddings, and events.

Almost Paradise

The title implies that life is a journey, a journey that each individual is yearning for, a “Paradise”. Almost paradise is a slogan I created to push me to keep inspiring, to keep getting lost and to keep exploring. Join my adventure!
