Amar and Isabelle Guillen
We are two professional freelance
photographers, working independently, and specializing in underwater, travel
and underwater photography. Since 2001, we have been living in the US in Plano , TX , which is a town near Dallas
We define ourselves as “hunters of lights and
colors”. These two elements create the fundamental basis of our approach,
whether on land or underwater, and allow us to showcase the stories we tell in
our photographs. One of our main passions is to display the delicate balance
existing between nature and people. Our website, www.guillenphoto.com, is an
exhibition of our artistic work and expertise in the mastery of lights and
colors.
Our photographic vision is based on the search or
the hunt of lights and colors to dress our subjects to better highlight them.
Once the subject chosen, we create high-contrast images with perfect management
of the depth of field. We are especially attracted by the atmosphere photographs
composed of several plans where we show peace and sweetness in the tones. Our
vision is also to use the textures and structures of the subjects photographed.
The material is for us an essential element for the dynamic ranges as wide as
possible.
In underwater photography, we also apply our
photographic vision: colors, lights, crisp pictures, perfect management of the
depth of field and high-contrasted images. In underwater photography, we are
able to address all types of photography: scenery, macro, close up. We are also
able to treat all subjects from photography of marine mammals, very large fish
such as whales through reptiles, crustaceans, not to mention all the species of
fish. We have a particular passion for wrecks that we know particular highlight
in our images.
We have great experience in the areas of
travel, underwater and wildlife photography. Our interests are nature,
landscapes, and animals. Our skills in underwater photography are now
recognized by many international and prestigious magazines. Scuba Diving in the
United States , Diver Canada,
Asian Diver Singapore, Plongée Magazine in France ,
Unterwasser in Germany , and
Nurkovanie in Poland France
In addition to our articles and books, we also
work with stock photography such as Seapics.com, Alamy.com, Getty.com and
Belpress.com. These stocks have very special needs, and require us to open our
photographic perspective and outlook.
Our next area of expertise includes our
teaching skills. We organize and animate underwater photography, travel
courses, and safaris. We are fortunate and honored to have trained hundreds of
photographers in the world. This is a very important point that supports our
ability to communicate with various nationalities. Today, for our clients, our
communication skills are a guarantee we will understand projects and carry them
to completion.
After graduating with degrees in computer
science, we worked as design engineers, then project managers. This taught us
to manage complex projects. We started to take photographs in 1987 with an
Olympus OM40, as self-taught users. After practicing photography as a hobby for
15 years, we decided to move our love for photography forward, with a more
artistic and career approach.
We use Photoshop and all plug-ins dedicated to
correction and photo retouching, such as provided by OnOneSoftware, NikSoftware
and AutoFxSoftware. This expertise contributes to our professionally finished
projects that do not require additional work.
Our expansive experience in professional photography
allows us to meet the expectations and requirements of our customers. We strive
to understand their needs and specifications assigned to us.
We are multifaceted professional photographers,
global in scope, and we are flexible to your assignments and missions.
