Travel Photographer

AJ is an Emmy-winning filmmaker and photographer dedicated to capturing powerful, untold stories. Born in Colombia, he discovered his passion for visual storytelling through traveling, using his lens to document raw, authentic moments. With a focus on outdoor adventures, cultural narratives, and impactful projects, AJ brings unseen perspectives to life. His work spans from documentary filmmaking to branded content, always aiming to inspire and give a voice to those who rarely get the opportunity to share their stories.

Alum Advice

A group of commencement graduates are standing in regalia and posing for a photo. We can see the photographer in the bottom right corner.

Give it 100% in whatever you do. Dive into your unique self—there are already enough cookie cutters out there. Your perspective is one of a kind—embrace it. Take risks, learn from failures, and always seek to tell stories that matter. The world needs your voice.
