About
Light, Subject, Moment.
Rodrigo Gaya Villar is a freelance photographer, artist, and visual storyteller. His style takes cues from his studies as a photojournalist & cultural studies at the University of Michigan. Later working as a celebrity, nightlife, & PR photographer in Miami. Now, Rodrigo has focused his attention to developing his organic, storytelling approach to all his work. Including producing long-form cultural documentary projects, covering spot news stories, and producing abstract fine-artwork.
In 2020, Rodrigo founded Gayaman Visual Studio, LLC, a freelance photo & video production studio, based in Miami FL, with offices in Mexico City. Focused on producing organic, documentary-styled content for a wide array of clients.
