The PHOTObiography approach

Today deserves
to be remembered too.

You do not need to wait for a milestone. Time at home, a favorite activity, or a journey with the people you love deserves to be remembered too.

PHOTObiography is a photographic record of your life. Begin with a personal photoshoot, then add a new chapter each year as your world changes.

Business storytelling

The story of
what you build.

Photographs of the people, processes, spaces, and details that make your business unique. Together, we create a visual story that shows who you are and what you do.

Discover business storytelling

Your business, from the inside.

Every company has a story beyond its products or services. It lives in the people who make things happen, the care behind their work, the spaces they share, and the small details that give the business its character.

My BUSINESS STORYTELLING photography brings those elements together in a collection of professional photographs that feels true to your company. Working primarily with natural light, I capture genuine moments, with guidance when needed, to communicate your identity in a personal and visually compelling way.

What we can photograph

  • Your team, individual portraits, and people working together.
  • The processes, craftsmanship, and attention to detail behind your work.
  • Your workplace, interiors, and the atmosphere of your spaces.
  • Your products or services in context, including how people use or experience them.
  • Everyday interactions, customer experiences, and moments that express your company’s character.

How we create your story

We begin with a conversation about your business, the people you want to reach, and where you plan to use the photographs. Together, we identify the subjects, settings, and activities that best communicate what makes your company distinctive.

The session is planned around your workplace and the way your business operates. Afterward, you review the preview photographs and choose your favorites for professional editing. Your Final Images are delivered as high-resolution digital files.

A visual record that grows with you

A photoshoot can be a standalone project or the beginning of an ongoing photographic record. Returning each year creates new chapters as your team, spaces, work, and business evolve, while providing fresh images for your communications.

Photographs for your communications

Each package includes professionally edited, high-resolution digital photographs and usage rights for your company’s website, social media, press, marketing, and business communications. We discuss your intended uses when planning the project so the agreed scope is clear.

Tell me about your business and what you would like to communicate. I will send you the package options, and we can plan a photoshoot around your needs.

Meet your photographer

Pipe Yanguas

I’m Pipe Yanguas, a Colombian photographer and visual artist based in Miami. Born in Cali, I grew up surrounded by creativity and nature, and began photographing at fourteen. I later moved to Milan to study photography at the Istituto Europeo di Design. My work has since taken me into the lives of individuals and families around the world.

Travel, different cultures, and the people I have met have shaped how I see life. What draws me most is what makes each person’s world their own: the relationships, familiar places, small rituals, and things they love. I believe those moments deserve to be remembered today, without waiting for a milestone.

Before each photoshoot, we talk about what matters to you and plan an experience around it. I work with natural light and look for genuine moments of connection, expression, and joy. My aim is to create photographs that feel like you.

That is the heart of PHOTObiography. I have photographed some families for more than a decade, returning year after year as children grow and life changes. Their photographs become new chapters in coffee-table books that grow with them. Connection also runs through my art practice, Dots and Lines World, which you can explore at pipeyanguas.com.
