PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY

Jorge Becerra Martínez discovered his passion for photography at the age of 28 when he purchased his first camera, a Canon T3i.

As a photographer, he has worked with clients including Coppel, and his work has been featured in various national publications. He has also photographed notable personalities from the arts and entertainment industries, including actor Luis Gerardo Méndez.

BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY

I am a pediatric neurosurgeon based in Antwerp, dividing my time between Antwerp, where I work and live, and New York, where my partner resides. I developed a deep passion for street photography during lockdown. Since then I’m continuously searching for beauty and poetry in the ordinary moments of everyday life with the aim of creating images that feel both intimate and timeless. While most of my work is in black and white, I am equally drawn to color photography.
