Juan Sebastian

Born in Barranquilla, Colombia, Juan Sebastian immigrated to Miami at the age of seventeen. His interest in musical theatre and literature heavily influences his work as a photographer, often times capturing a sense of musicality and fantasy in his work. He travels globally to document the fashion weeks of Miami, New York, and Paris in addition to procuring long-term self-portrait and beauty projects. Commissioned by the likes of Del Pozo, Adriana Castro, and Estèe Lauder, Sebastian’s style is distinctive despite his eclectic repertoire.

Inspired by elements of nature and myth, Juan Sebastian draws inspiration from the magical realism found in the work of Marquez and Allende. In his photos, the parameters with which we distinguish dreams from reality are obscured while working within the expansive continuum of light and dark. The product is a visualization of the fantasy that pervades our dreams.
