Luis Alejandro Cuéllar Varona studied industrial engineering at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Cali, Colombia, where he graduated in 2001. For 12 years, he worked in marketing, sales, and human resources at multinational and domestic companies, until 2009, when he discovered his life’s passion: photography. He began studying and practicing photography in Bogotá during his free time while working as a national sales manager for a Colombian company. In 2012, he decided to make a career change: he quit his job, sold everything he owned, and traveled to Paris to pursue his passion and start a new life. He studied at the SPEOS Paris Photography Institute, where he earned his professional photography diploma in 2013. After a few years of practice, he realized he needed to delve deeper into the study of art, and in 2016 he began studying Fine Arts at the École des Arts de la Sorbonne, where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in 2018 and his Master’s in Fine Arts in 2021. In 2021, he returned to his other passion: writing. He wrote his first unpublished book: Jano, the Search for Light. A work of fiction that blends photography and literary narrative. In late 2022, he began collaborating with the Franco-Latin American magazine Ojo Vulgar, where he has published several of his short stories. In 2025, he began his career as a filmmaker by self-producing his first short film, “Tres Veces Doce”, in collaboration with French artists; the film is currently making the festival circuit. He works as a professional photographer in Paris, primarily on portrait, editorial, and commercial assignments. His personal work focuses on the meaning of everyday life, its banality and naturalness; he is always in search of what he considers beauty: a deep connection with his soul through the numinous. He has published photography editorials in various magazines in France, England, Brazil, the United States, and Colombia. He has also held exhibitions in galleries and institutions throughout Paris.…Luis Alejandro Cuéllar Varona studied industrial engineering at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Cali, Colombia, where he graduated in 2001.
