EDU CORNEJO

Photographer & Creative Director

About Edu

My journey began during my teenage years at photography workshops, where I became captivated by the process of film development and old-school printing. This early fascination with light and shadow led me into a career in graphic arts, where I spent years working as a brand designer and later as an art director for advertising campaigns. Those years gave me a clear understanding of how an image must work to ensure a brand's success. Eventually, I chose to leave the agency world to follow my true passion: photography.

Today, I combine my skills, bringing the precision of a designer and the vision of a director to every shoot, ensuring that all my images evoke emotion and deliver a powerful message.

Creating for a living is a privilege I never take for granted. I prioritize connection, technical excellence, and flawless execution in every project, valuing the trust my clients place in me above all else.

Let’s create something extraordinary together.
