Gianni - Street Performer


Washington, D.C.--My cousin, Gianni, who lives in Valencia, Venezuela, loved to play with matches when he was little. Now, no one is surprised to see him so capable of handling these fire sticks and creating wonderful shapes with them. I was talking to him on Monday and he sent me these photos taken by a friend with a cell phone. As far as I know, he hasn't ever burned himself. Nevertheless, it doesn't look easy and I bet it takes a while getting used to the fire burning so close to you.

Luis Gomez Photos

I am a freelance photographer and photojournalist who moved to Washington, D.C., in 2003 from Caracas, Venezuela. During my 15 years as a photographer, I have traveled the world collecting images for work and pleasure. I have taken photographs throughout the Americas, Europe and Australia, focusing on cityscapes and architecture as well as the simplicity of landscapes and people.

I studied architecture at the University of Tennessee and then returned to Venezuela to earn a B.A. degree in communications from Universidad Católica Andrés Bello in Caracas.
I was a photographer and photo editor for publishing companies while doing freelance work for local and international media outlets.

I was born to a Venezuelan mother and a Belize-American father, some of my earliest memories are of hurrying through airport terminals with a camera around my neck. I was raised in Brazil and Venezuela, and I am fluent in Spanish and proficient in Portuguese.
