DOMINO PHOTO is a duo formed by photographers Diego Velazco and Santiago Epstein.

With bases in Mexico City and Montevideo, they often collaborate on projects for both local and international clients across Mexico, USA, France, Hungary, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Peru and Uruguay. They adapt their approach to each project, working either together as co-directors or independently.

Their impressive versatility allows them to thrive in diverse projects of different categories: lifestyle, cars, product, food and storytelling. This has earned them multiple international awards, including recognition from Clio, NY Festival, Cannes, Ojo de Iberoamérica, Premios Cúspide and the Gourmand Cookbook Awards.

In this Showcase, they share recent work shot in Mexico for Aeromexico, Mabe GE Profile, Toyota and Zest.

"Elegance in motion. Cars are impressive. They have reached a level of sophistication and design that makes them more attractive than ever. Photographing them is always a great challenge. Multi- plane objects that they are, we need absolute control of the light and reflections to get to the perfect image.

Then we add movement, another key factor in many situations, which makes car photography even more complex.

World brands such as Toyota, Audi, Peugeot, Lexus, VW, Volvo and Citroën have honored us by allowing us to be part of their team."

"It’s all about the acting!

A photograph with people is made up by light, environment, props, models, makeup, wardrobe... but above all of those is the acting. Acting is where the essence and the life of the photograph are found. We put a lot of emphasis on directing the actors; that’s where we go all in. We need the final image to convey everything we mean, and we get to that result on set by guiding the actors toward our vision.

We commit and delve into the emotional aspect, working together to achieve what we envisioned."

"An exquisite category! It is a fascinating thing to photograph food and drink. Food is live matter, drink is pure motion and senses, both are colors, textures, scents, flavors, temperatures... all these sensations entering through the eyes!

Achieving a real appetite appeal has its secrets; years of working with food have made us experts. We have the best pro kitchen equipment in our studio, where food stylists can work their magic with everything they need.

We specialise in creating impressive images of our clients' products. Both in the studio and on location, when shooting drink, our team and expert props master take the product to be photographed to the next level, generating the special effects that we need on set. Our high-speed flashes and state-of-the-art cameras combine the best of technology to achieve the desired image.

Under our direction, our in-house post-production team enhances the final impact even further."
