Who is NV and Why LENS ?

                                THE GOAL

NVLens stands for Nelson Vargas Lens—a reflection of my passion for photography and my life’s work. My approach combines modern and traditional techniques, blending the authenticity of photojournalism with a fun, creative, and unobtrusive style.


At NVLens, my goal is to preserve emotions and intricate details, capturing them forever in timeless photographs that tell a vivid story of my clients’ most cherished moments. These images are designed to bring joy not just today, but to future generations, becoming a bridge to memories shared with family and friends.


If you’re looking for photography that transcends the ordinary—photos that embody the passion, energy, and beauty of your experiences—let me document your special moments. It would be my honor to capture memories that will last a lifetime.

                       TECHNIQUE


Photography is much more than a way to preserve memories—it’s an art form that conveys messages, tells stories, and evokes emotions. While cameras are now ubiquitous, photography itself remains a craft that demands a deep understanding of light, perspective, and timing.


Light is the foundation of every photograph. As a photographer, I focus on how light shapes the scene and use it to define and elevate every image. From capturing the raw moment to refining it into a digital masterpiece, I ensure that each shot is a true reflection of its subject.


With over 20 years of experience, I’ve honed my ability to bring out the personality of my subjects. Using skillful techniques and powerful lenses, I create photographs that feel alive—memories imbued with meaning and magic.

                              ART

Photography is a creative journey, a blend of memory, observation, and serendipity. For me, it’s an emotional and intuitive process, driven by the energy of life and the world around us. It’s not just a hobby or a job—it’s a calling.


When I work, I approach each moment with a sense of freedom and creativity, striving to capture every angle and detail. Photography, for me, isn’t like painting with oils or creating sculptures—it’s an original art form that transforms fleeting moments into lasting treasures.

                                 EXPERIENCE

My journey in photography began at the age of 19, working in a darkroom where I printed professional photos. I majored in photography and had the privilege of assisting renowned fashion photographer Jean-Marie Guyaux, gaining invaluable knowledge and refining my skills.


For over 20 years, I’ve dedicated myself to commercial photography, mastering the craft while building lasting relationships with my clients. Each project inspires me to push boundaries, ensuring that every client’s vision is not only met but exceeded.


Photography is my life and my passion. There’s no greater reward than seeing the smiles of my clients as they relive their most precious memories through my work. It’s this joy that motivates me to keep evolving, striving to create images that speak to the heart.
