I really enjoy photography as an art form, so was pleased to spot El Fotografo whilst exploring Antigua City. The work is beautiful and the children's faces just a joy - I bought two small prints. The staff were very helpful and some of them are the grown up versions of the children in the photos whcih is nice. Whilst... More

This place is amazing, from photographs to the various staff members we've interacted with both times we visited Antigua. As photographers ourselves we were highly impressed with the composition and quality of the images and can really appreciate the fact that film was used. The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable and just a pleasure to converse with. Fun fact: we... More

It's a great shop with wonderful photographs. The fact that one of the children in the portraits, now a teenager, worked there, made it truly special. More

I live in Guatemala City and needed some good pictures of Guatemalan people for a project I was making. I had seen this gallery but never went in it, so this time I decided to go for it and search what I was looking for. I must say I was really glad to visit that place. The pictures were lovely...

I work with Mayan descent teachers in the highlands of Guatemala and am in country four times a year. My trips always end in Antigua and recently I have made a point to visit the gallery before flying back to the States. Although my most recent purchase was of three mature women wearing the traje of Nebaj, I gravitate toward... More

I visited El Fotografo on a trip in November 2011. I fell in love with the photography and the staff, who are often subjects of the photographs. I took home a small photo of a boy with carrots on his head, one of the only souvenirs I immediately hung on our office wall back in California. The images are modern... More

I was ready to pack my camera away after I saw the photos in this gallery near Antigua's famous arch. Over the years, I've tried to take pictures of people all over the world and have never gotten photos even remotely as good as these. The wizened elders and smiling kids that gaze out at you from these photos stand... More

This photo gallery has an amazing collection of photos taken of indigenous people all around Guatemala. Its worth a look just to see the colorful and joyous photos. They are just beyond the arch on 5th Avenue. More
