About me:

Professional photographer and artist...

LUIS ONGPIN makes anyone he photographs look the best they ever will. That's part of his magic. The rest is in making the taking of the photo as much fun as possible, using his trademark encouragement and personal charm.

His simple, intimate and sometimes provactive style of photography is focused squarely on looking at his subject in a natural light that is true to their nature and evoking an emotional sense in their viewer.

His talent has led him to work with some of the world's top makeup and hairstylists and is highly regarded in the areas of fashion, portrait and event photography

He currently lives in downtown area of Seattle,Washington and travels to make photographs around the world.

Favorite Photographers Include: Richard Avedon, Mario Testino, Sante D'orazio, David Lachappelle, Annie Leibovitz, Chase Jarvis, Steven Klein, Nikola Tamindzic, Merlin Bronques and Tyler Shields

Inspirations & Influences Include: Deepak Chopra, Tom Ford, Diane Reyes, Karmen D'Castro, Samuel Zeiler, Campbell Scott, Mystery, Neil Strauss,Audrey Hepburn, Coco Chanel, Barack Obama and all my close friends and artists who continue to inspire me every chance i meet them.

Luis continues to be passionate about his work and loves to wake up every day to find new places and people and take their picture.

He is 24 years old, but sometimes feels like the oldest person in the room
