My name is Noel Alfonso Alvarez, and I was born in 1973 in Mayagüez, Puerto Rico. I was raised in Aguadilla and currently work as a Computer and Telecommunications Equipment Specialist at the University of Puerto Rico, Aguadilla Campus, where I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Electronic Technology Engineering. Although I consider myself an amateur photographer, my passion for photography has been a constant in my life. I have always been an avid learner and a fervent admirer of nature. Since I was a child, I felt an innate attraction to capturing moments and details with my camera.
I decided to study and delve deeper into the art of photography under the guidance of the talented master, José Almodóvar. Photography, for me, is not just a hobby but a way to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us and to express my artistic vision. In each image, I seek to reveal the beautiful details that often go unnoticed in our everyday lives.
Throughout my journey as a photographer, I have been fortunate to receive recognition on the "Viewbug" platform. I never imagined that I would be selected two consecutive years, in 2015 and 2016, as one of the top 20 photographers on the site. Furthermore, in 2020, I was honored with the "Winter Award" and the "Top Creator Award," once again placing me among the top 20 photographers. These achievements have motivated me to continue exploring my passion and seeking new moments to capture and share with the world.
In addition to my work as a photographer, I have had the opportunity to share my knowledge in the field of photography. In 2022, I had the privilege of teaching the courses on Basic Digital Photography and Introduction to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic for the Division of Continuing Education and Professional Studies (DECEP) at UPR Aguadilla. I am proud to say that the participants have positively valued my teachings, inspiring me to continue sharing my passion for photography with other enthusiasts.
In summary, photography is my way of exploring the world, pausing to notice the details, and capturing the beauty that surrounds us. Every day, I continue to learn and grow as a photographer, seeking moments that deserve to be captured and shared. I am excited for what the future holds on this wonderful photographic journey.
