About fovea Imagery
Hi! My name is Juan Carlos Carbajal, I’m the Photographer behind Fovea Imagery. Here are some things about me & my business that I would like for you to know before you Book!
Fovea Imagery Started with my Vision on What I had imagined photography to be from a very young age. Getting into photography at the age of 14, I didn’t think much of what would transpire within a year from then. Because, in just a year of picking up a camera, I began getting paid to do portraits & events for those close to me & who were willing to give me the opportunity to be part of encapsulating their memories for them. And while I continued to grasp my understanding in the art of freezing Contrast within a frame, I began to understand the significance that which each photo I took held.
in these past 5+ years, I've managed to be trusted by a wide range of people & businesses to compose timeless galleries for both their personal & Commercial use. I’ve been able to become families’ personal photographer, and not only see them grow, but have been with them enough to grow alongside their milestones as well.

Fovea Imagery- The Sharpest form of visual symbolism that evokes a mental image, accentuating substantial depth of sentiment & significance
Photography has had a sincere impact on the way I’ve perceived the world around me. It didn’t take long for me to see the photos I had captured for my clients on their walls, wallets, social media accounts, Photobooks, wallpapers, etc. But what had impacted me the most was seeing my clients cry when I completed their galleries for them. Some had never had a professional photography session before, and some had many, but what always stood out regardless of their past experiences was seeing their disbelief, asking out loud with a smile “Is that actually what I look like?”. With each photo I had taken, I restructured the way a person saw themselves in the mirror. Some studies have shown that nearly 80% of Americans suffer from some form of insecurity regarding their appearance, so to have been an opposing contributor to that statistic has brought nothing but joy to me.
The significance of being booked for a session goes beyond it being just a job, it’s a honorary privilege, but not many have the ability to look at it in that light. Most Photography sessions aren’t as simple or easy-going as one might think. A lot goes on during preparation, during the day of, and many hours of post-work need to be completed in order to properly accentuate the beauty and significance that each & every single event/session holds. Most times there is not an opportunity for redo’s, especially during a Wedding & Quinceañera, where every second counts, to the point where the photographer eating can’t always be on the to-do list. When you book here, expect your event to be captured as though it were my very own. Booking an Event Planner, Venue, Catering, DJ, Decorator, & Photographer adds up very quickly. All those expenses are always kept in mind, regardless of the size of your event. It’s your special day, & all I will ever do is give you every reason to know that your investment was prioritized in all the right ways.
Taking your photos is one thing, but what I do with them after is an entire Art of its own. Each Portrait & picture is meticulously edited according to your event type, as well as your wants and needs. For 99% of sessions I use some form of artificial lighting or diffusion, whether than be with a Strobe, Speedlight, or Reflector, the lighting will always be a prominent factor when your Pictures are delivered to you in a hand-picked & organized gallery.
