Hi, I’m Maricruz Pedregal Montoya. Behind the camera, I’m all about capturing authentic moments and telling stories through photography, direction, and light. I love working with a collaborative team to turn concepts into striking images for campaigns, editorials, and brands, and I’m skilled at refining images through careful retouching and post-production. I’ve built a versatile career across fashion, music, events, and hospitality, with international projects and collaboration with artists and brands. In addition to shooting and retouching, I teach photography at Apertura School, sharing techniques and feedback with students. My drive comes from a persistent commitment to excellence and joy in teamwork, always seeking challenges that push creativity and connect with audiences.
