Sample works
I'm Juan Reyes
A portrait and lifestyle photographer based in Brooklyn, New York
I make portraits — modern and classic — I shoot events, and I do commercial and product photography for small brands and independent makers. Endlessly inspired by art, films, and the beauty of bold expression, my work is rooted in creativity and the human experience. I blend intentional composition with emotion.
Testimonials
Working with Juan was an exceptional experience from start to finish. He has a remarkable ability to put you at ease in front of the camera, guiding you effortlessly through poses while drawing out your most confident, natural self. The results were portraits that truly exceeded my expectations! I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Wendy
Juan is an amazing asset to have at any event. He captures the emotions perfectly throughout the event. Whether it's the joy of a child, the warmth/familiarity between neighbors, or the exact moment when the sunset looks magical. His eye for detail is unmatched and I feel thankful to have him as an incredible vendor for my events. Highly recommend!
neighborly events
Juan was an amazing photographer to work with. Capturing product packaging can be tricky but he had all the necessary equipment and technical skills to execute and we were able to produce some great photos. On top of that he was extremely quick and very communicative. I appreciate his efforts and collaboration and would recommend him to anyone.

CAPTURING POWERFUL IMAGERY AND LASTING MEMORIES WITH LIGHT, BODY, AND soul
Life is too short to live it on autopilot. When is the last time you had a human experience and truly allowed yourself to disconnect? Leave your thoughts, worries and devices at home, and simply let your mind wander around? Breathe deeply and reconnect with the simple joys of being present. Let curiosity guide your steps without a set destination. Rediscover the beauty in small, everyday moments. It's in these moments of stillness and clarity that you often find what truly matters —and where you truly find yourself.
For brands, the same attention to light, composition, and the small details that make a picture actually work — applied to your product instead of a person.
