Albert is one of the most exceptional photographers I have ever met. I am a model based in NYC and wanted to add a nature shoot to my portfolio. I was so excited to shoot in the magical location of El Yunque. Albert has excellent and fast communication and helped me understand the entire process/what to expect. He made me feel comfortable and gave me great ideas/suggestions for the photoshoot in terms of outfits, posing, and the general theme. I cannot wait to travel back to PR and shoot with him again! -P

We had the most amazing experience working with Albert for our engagement photos in Puerto Rico! He suggested a breathtaking beach location that couldn’t have been more perfect, and his professionalism made us feel at ease throughout the entire shoot. Not only did he deliver and edit the photos incredibly fast, but he also went the extra mile by sending us beautiful video clips that captured even more of the moment. We’re so grateful for his talent and dedication and we would work with him again! - Erica

My rainforest photoshoot with Albert in Puerto Rico was simply superb! It was so much more than just taking pictures; it was genuinely informative, teaching me so much about the island's vibrant culture and natural wonders. The friendly feel of Albert's approach shone through, making it a truly impactful experience. His visionary approach to capturing mine and Puerto Rico's beauty was evident in every shot. Definitely worth the time and money for an unforgettable and enlightening adventure! - Kobe

We chose to work with Albert and do not regret our decision one bit. He is professional, warm, and incredibly helpful. Both of us felt so comfortable during the shoot. He provided great feedback to showcase our engagement. The location of the shoot was unmatched and made our vision come to life. Turnaround time for the edited photos was also quick & he was quick to respond to any questions we had. We cannot wait to visit Puerto Rico again and do a beach shoot for an anniversary. A 10/10 - Victoria

Albert was professional, accommodating, flexible and kind. He gave us options in terms of transportation to meet up either in San Juan or to meet by the rainforest. I was able to talk things out with him before arriving to PR to optimize the proposal surprise shoot I had for my fiancé. He knows his geography and makes the pictures look beautiful without having to overly edit. All in all 10/10 would 100% recommend. - Jean & Lorna

Abert provided the most amazing rainforest maternity photoshoot while I was visiting Puerto Rico. As someone who is a little camera shy, Albert made me feel completely safe, relaxed and empowered. Booking through his website was a breeze! He gave clear instructions on where to meet, how to pose and what to expect in every aspect. He has great communication skills and makes the experience effortless. I can't thank him enough for going above and beyond to capture this beautiful memory for me. - Crystal

Albert is a truly talented photographer with an exceptional ability to bring out the best in his clients. My fiancé and I discovered his work on TikTok while searching for someone to capture photos for our wedding invitations and website. From our very first email exchange, Albert had excellent communication skills and professionalism. He made us both feel incredibly comfortable and fully understood our vision, which he brought to life beautifully. We look forward to working with him again in the future!

If you’re in Puerto Rico, you have to meet Albert and book a photoshoot with him! He’s incredibly sweet and truly talented at capturing beautiful moments.

Highly recommend! - Harivadan

I had my maternity photos taken by Albert and he ensured my safety while still delivering just what I wanted, plus more. I appreciated that he offered a ride to the photo shoot in a convenient pickup location if you are visiting San Juan and the surrounding areas. If I could leave more stars I would. That is how amazing my experience was and could not have asked for better. Our photos are beautiful and we're highly satisfied. - Jasmine

Albert is lovely! The place he took us was secluded, safe and very beautiful. The weather wasn’t working out in the morning but he was great at being flexible and offered a later time slot to do our photoshoot! I booked him for my engagement photos with my fiance.

Lyla, TX

Albert is a great artist and guide! He drove far from his hometown to the photo session. I didn't have a car, so he kindly met me at a public spot in San Juan from there we drove to the Rainforest. He was very attentive and great at communicating. He is talented at what he does. He is also very encouraging in directing poses which made it easy. I love his composition styles in the photos, he has a great eye for making you look your best. I highly recommend booking Albert. - Lyla

I had a wonderful time! Albert is very easy to talk to and it was a great photo shoot. He made the trip to the rainforest fly by! Once there, it was a very short walk (but bring shoes that you are ok getting muddy!) to the photo spot. He helped me pose and was very good at giving directions to make me look great. I am so happy with my photos! A great souvenir of my time in Puerto Rico that I can look at for years to come! - Kendra
