Passionate about photography and storytelling.

My name is Josefina Vargas, I'm currently living in Australia and I dedicate myself to capturing special moments of people and landscapes that have a story to tell.
For me, the more natural the better. That is why my favourite photo shoots are natural moments, out there in the middle of nature, with natural light.

When people/families/couples ask me for a photo shoot, they open the doors to a little piece of their life. They share with me a part of their routine, the key word that makes the baby laugh, the space where they sit to have breakfast every day, a knowing smile, the fear of cameras, a deep look.
It is their little world and they allow me to freeze, for a couple of hours, the precious moments and emotions that unfold in it.
For a couple of hours, they welcome me into their little world and allow me to capture the precious moments and emotions that unfold within.
For me it's not just about taking pictures and editing them with my style. It is a whole process of surrender between human beings to which, with my camera, I honor with the utmost respect, affection and great admiration.
From the other side I receive absolute trust to be part of their lives for a few moments.
So I try to make myself invisible so that whoever is in front of my camera truly lives the present as the only one we have, without worrying about the final result. I'll take care of that.
I will try to freeze a part of that moment through my lens, but it is up to you to honor those hugs, that whisper in the ear, that nervous laugh, the gesture that made her blush, the wind that blew his hat off, the rain that made them run for shelter.
The photo will be only one of many beautiful memories; the experience of the now is unique and unrepeatable.
