PATRICK SAQOUSPE

                                 For the past few years, I've been a professional
                                 photographer and a student of metaphysics, which both
                                 seem to, in one way or another, influence the content of most
                                 of my images. Three years ago, I had the good fortune of
                                 meeting Señor Victor Diaz, who gave me my first
                                 introduction to one of the world's finest inventions; The
                                 Macintosh!

                                 I am currently "THE" Graphics Department for the
                                 Califormula Radio Group in Chula Vista, CA., which owns
                                 three of the top-rated radio stations in the San Diego area;
                                 90.3FM Z90, Radio Latina 104.5 and 99.3-X99.

 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

Jaun Collignon Hoff
 
Juan Collignon is one of those rare multifaceted individuals who constantly challenges
           himself in whatever he attempts to undertake. Over the year's he has left his mark as a
           poet, painter,architect landscape designer and photographer.

           Juan has been able to express himself in a most remarkable way by combining a
           mastery of materials with a profound artistic vision. Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, he
           captured in all of his images the vibrant nature of colors. Because of an extensive art
           background, Juan imparts a strong sense of design which acheives beauty through
           simplicity. It is photography which aims to stimulate vision of the subject in all it's
           wonderous beauty and to produce images which capture the significance of the human
           form. In each impression, drama and excitement are brought into focus through
           highlights and shadows - the result of light. For Juan, only light used in a planned
           manner can establish a delicate and poetic expression. Each photograph flows at a
           climax to record the innavative and compelling attributes of woman.
