A LA LUZ

Format PHOTOGRAPHY · PHOTO MANIPULATION · SURREAL
Context Travel photography
Role Photographer / Editor

A la luz de la Luna is a photo manipulation project conceived during a road trip across the Utah–Arizona deserts between December 2019 and January 2020. What began as a travel adventure evolved into a surreal visual exploration inspired by the vastness and overwhelming beauty of the landscapes I encountered. By layering elements captured throughout the journey, I created dreamlike compositions that reinterpret those environments through a more emotional and imaginative lens.

Travel has always been a fundamental source of inspiration for me—it’s what first led me to photography, and eventually to exploring photo compositing and image manipulation as creative tools. This series brings together some of my favorite views from that trip alongside my latest experiments in digital manipulation, blending documentation and imagination into immersive, otherworldly landscapes.

The project was later featured as part of Adobe’s advertising campaign, highlighting its creative use of photo compositing and visual storytelling.
