Season Finale with my brother @jveloz - a self-taught photographer whose bold, authentic approach is closely tied to his Dominican heritage. Juan became known for photographs capturing the authentic identity and personality of his subjects — initially people from his local community.   

Since those early days in New York, Veloz has moved to LA and collaborated with some of the most prominent names in fashion, music, and arts: from Vogue to Dior, Netflix to Nike. In his work, Veloz is committed to equality, representing the voices and narratives that often missing in the contemporary media landscape. It is this commitment that shapes Veloz’s visual language, where honest cultural identity and authenticity take center stage. Juan keeps the root of his culture and identity at the forefront sharing some incredible untold stories in the most organic and genuine way.   

We talked about breakthrough moments from quitting his job at 21, having faith and embracing family through the process. Juan keeps the realness of his identity to show up as his true-self and hopes to inspire the next generation of photographers.
