"I am a photographer. I am not here to show people what they can already see. I am here to give them experiences they would otherwise never have experienced. I am here to preserve moments that otherwise would have been forgotten. I am here to capture things which have no words to describe."
Cristian Rivera is a visual artist based out of Miami, FL with an emphasis and focus on lifestyle, landscape/cityscape, and portraiture photography while incorporating these methods into his editorial and commercial work. What drives him as a creative is the chase and adventure that comes along with capturing some of the most unique and jaw dropping moments we all come across on a day to day basis.
Ultimately, Cristian finds his work most fulfilling and successful when it pushes the boundaries of what is considered detailed, precise, and minimalistic street photography. A strong passion for his roots and his desire to complete the mission of giving those around the world a “broader perspective” is how he’s been able to grow as a visual artist over the years making great companions and connecting with creatives of all kinds along the way.
From aesthetically pleasing art districts to the grimiest alley ways, no matter the obstacle, Cristian Rivera is always pushing his limits to find that “perfect shot”.
