About

I’m Vivian, a first-generation queer Mexican photographer, image-maker, and visual director based in Los Angeles. For over 15 years, my work has explored the emotional landscape of music, fashion, and subcultural identity through conceptual precision and cinematic composition.

I engage with the politics of presence, using light, shadow, and saturated color to create portraits that are both intimate and iconic. Grounded in lived experience and cultural memory, my images hold tension, speak truth, and leave a lasting imprint. Whether directing campaigns or capturing stillness in motion, I work at the intersection of editorial aesthetics and cultural narrative.

In a time when erasure is constant and representation is power, I create as an act of reclamation. My devotion to music, art, and community is inseparable from the images I make. Thank you for seeing me and standing with me.

Art should haunt a little. That’s how you know it’s honest.
