JIMMY CLAVIJO

Jimmy Clavijo has worked in the advertising industry in Colombia for the last 35 years but has always been passionate about photography. He has been creative director for multinational advertising agencies such as BBDO and Young & Rubicam. Jimmy has been taking pictures since the days when photography was on film and processed in the darkroom. His training in photography has been self-taught, through virtual and face-to-face Workshops such as the Lighting Techniques Workshop at Massachusetts Art and Design College-Boston USA in 2019, and The Adorama Stylized Wedding Photography Workshop 2019, in New York USA. In 2019 he started his personal photographic protection called Clavijophotos mainly for portraits. In 2022 he moved to London, Canada, where he is currently studying Photography at Fanshawe College to improve his photography skills. At Fanshawe College he received the Dean's Honor Roll-2023 Winter and Fall Terms for his outstanding academic performance and one of his projects called "Marbles" was chosen as one of the 3 most inspiring images of the semester. Some of his photographic works were exhibited at the 2023 Fanshawe College Photographic Show. Some of his abstract photographs from the "Marbles" series are on display for sale at 2 online art galleries in Canada: www. artogalleria.com and www.gallea.ca
