Hey there! I’m just a guy who loves photography and spending time with the people who matter most—family and friends. My name’s Iván Valdivia, and while I was born in Cuba, Miami is now home. I studied Biology and spent years working as a media producer at the prestigious San Antonio de los Baños International Film and TV School. In 2012, I headed to the UK to study wildlife documentary production, and that’s when it hit me—photography is my true passion. Freezing a moment in time, telling a story through a single frame—that’s the kind of challenge I can’t get enough of. It’s been a wild, unpredictable, and ongoing journey, and I’m loving every bit of it.

​

My camera has changed the way I see the world, taking me to unexpected places and giving me a whole new perspective on life. If I’ve got my old Canon in hand and I’m out in nature—watching wildlife, traveling, or just soaking it all in through my lens—you can bet I’m happy. These days, I run a laid-back photography business where I get to express my creativity and create unforgettable images for people like you.

​

I’m always up for new adventures, stories, and connections. Let's connect and be friends!
