Available to hire
Hi, I’m Jimmy Clavijo—a photographer who thinks like a publicist and a publicist who thinks like a photographer. I connect quickly with my clients’ strategic goals and translate them into powerful images and campaigns. My work spans portrait, product, and wedding photography, complemented by leadership roles in advertising, enabling me to align creative vision with business objectives. I’m based in Cali, Colombia, with international experience in Canada, collaborating effectively with diverse teams to deliver compelling visual storytelling.
With a background in creative direction and copywriting, I bring a collaborative, results-driven approach to every project—from concept and direction to execution. I’ve led campaigns for major clients and managed agency operations, always focused on delivering visuals that resonate and campaigns that perform.
