Jaime "The Boxer"


Washington, DC--As I was walking down on 15th St. NW to cover an assignment I ran into Jaime. Jaime was smiling at me and already posing asking to have his picture taken. He posed as a boxer, with his fists up for a second then he just smiled. He said he liked having his picture taken and was happy that I did. Then he returned to his construction work at one of the houses in my neighborhood.

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.
