A photographer's 'prime directive' is simply to document a moment in time/space.

An image of a passing moment, made in the present, and sent into the future. Using only light, a subject, and a moment in a frame to tell a story.

​

An image being both 'truthful' and 'deceitful' proposes a certain truth to our sense of sight, yet a slight manipulation of the camera can deceive even the keenest eye.

​

The foundation of Rodrigo's work focuses on this fragile understanding of his 'truth' in life.  Over his 17-year career, he's developed a photographic style forgoing typical labels. Encouraged to learn from any photographic style, the camera became simply the tool for expression, and not the expression itself.

​

From street walks to abstract photography, Rodrigo Gaya Villar searches for the right the light, subject, and moment before releasing the shutter.

​

As he likes to describe it, he's 'Playing with Photons.'
