The Vision

We live surrounded by movement, people passing, moments unfolding, the energy is constantly shifting

Most of it disappears without being noticed. Time moves fast, and what feels alive today becomes memory tomorrow

Vortex exists to document that human energy

Through photography and visual storytelling, we capture real moments as they happen. Raw, imperfect, alive, transforming everyday life into lasting visual memory

Our Approach

We don’t work by the hour

We work by value

Each project includes a curated minimum number of images, detailed in every collaboration

Beyond that, whenever an image truly resonates with us, it becomes part of what you receive. We believe creation shouldn’t be limited by time, but guided by intention

We create to explore, to connect, and to enjoy the process

That freedom is what allows the work to feel real and that’s what you’re investing in

Identity Session

A focused visual experience designed to translate who you are into images

  • A concise, intentional session centered on presence, identity, and authenticity. Ideal for artists, creatives, and individuals looking for imagery that feels honest and timeless.

    • A curated selection of 8 fully edited final images

    • 15+ lightly color-corrected selects

    • Online private gallery for viewing and download

  • This session isn’t about volume, it’s about clarity. We focus on creating images that represent you, not trends.

  • Starting at $800 (Global)

    Starting at $350 (Ecuador)

Narrative Project

A collaborative visual project built around story, context, and movement

  • A deeper exploration that goes beyond a single moment. This project allows space for atmosphere, progression, and visual storytelling.

    • Creative direction and conceptual alignment

    • A curated selection of 15+ fully edited final images

    • 35+ lightly color-corrected selects

    • Online private gallery

  • Narrative Projects are shaped through collaboration. We take time to understand the story before capturing it.

  • Starting at $1200 (Global)

Advanced

A fully custom visual collaboration shaped around a singular idea

  • A high-touch, author-led collaboration. Built for personal projects, brands, or individuals seeking a distinct visual language with depth and intention.

    • Concept development and creative guidance

    • Flexible execution without rigid time constraints

    • A tailored visual delivery based on the project’s needs

  • This is not a predefined service. It’s an open collaboration where exploration and authorship come first.

  • By proposal only
