Based on this philosophy, ESVIGO was founded in 1989 as a studio specializing in people and portrait photography.
Over the years, ESVIGO has diversified its business to include advertising, fashion, celebrities, interiors, architecture, hospitality and jewelry photography of which our avant-garde artistry, techniques, sensibility and professionalism are highly regarded.
ESVIGO stands for highly tailored and quality work. In an industry tending to standardization, offering more of the same, it appears to be an approach that works. Indeed every project starts from a clean state. The goal is to make it fresh and creative yet well thought out and usable. It must be fast and to the point from a technical point of view.
"Photography is not just a means to present beauty itself but it also creates an illusion for the audience to taste and to feel. That's my belief. Sharing my belief is my vision."
