One of the most challenging forms of art is photography. It is said that photography is the most expensive creative endeavor. The costs add up quickly, starting with the expense of the actual camera, then the lenses and lighting equipment, not to mention the numerous gadgets you can acquire all for the sake of the best shot imaginable. This is the world that the artistic photographer dwells in to create their vision of perfection. This is the world of Oscar Picazo, who has a unique vision of his subject that only his mind’s eye can compose.

Considered the top glamour and beauty photographer in Las Vegas, Oscar is the most sought after artist representing that genre. Born and raised in the city of Poza Rica, in the state of Veracruz, Mexico, he was gifted with creative genius from the start. A natural talent full of promise as everyone can witness with his work. He captures the moment with the use of composition, proportion, color, and details at that key moment with the click of his shutter.

I met up recently with Oscar, who has been a dear friend of mine for several years now and got a chance to ask him a few questions about his inspiration and vision. As a big fan of his work, I am honored that he is sharing his new superb collection with Chic Compass.
