The Storyteller When looking at Adam Aguilar’s portfolio, a person is astounded that the colorful and detailed images looking back at them are photographs. Aguilar’s work is sheer beauty and could be mistaken for an oil painting. He specializes in photographing women and capturing the pure femininity in every subject he has. “I don’t look at a woman and see what is in front of me, I look at what she could become,” Aguilar said. The women in his photos are beautifully posed capturing them perfectly in natural light.
