" Julio Muñoz was born in Trinidad de Cuba and has lived here all
his live. He is a talented photographer with an intuitive eye and a
passion to share his experience and knowledge with others. He
successful manages to absorb and record the true spirit and energy
of his vibrant town and his people.
His colorful images aspire to reflect the truth of what he sees
there is no artifice, trickery or cropping. He connects directly
with his subjects, simplifying and isolating the important elements
to produce a composition which rewards the viewer with the vitality
of the moment.
Julio has unique style, catching the light and form to his
advantage. He often prefers to use wide-angle lens, shooting from
high or low positions which allow him to engage with his subjects
giving a greater sense of depth and a fresh perspective.
His natural ease of communication, openness and generosity of
spirit make him a wonderful host and an inspirational photographer."
Carolyn Bates. (Associate of Royal Photography Society) |

Professional Profile
Julio Muñoz is an electronic engineer by profession but photographer
by heart and inclination. His uncle Toni Muñoz, owner of Toni Photo
Studio in New Jersey, showed him the first steps in photography.
Julio began to specialize in documentary photography after meeting
National Geographic photographer, David Alan Harvey, who showed him
the secrets for real-life portrait photography.
He is blessed to live in Trinidad, Cuba’s colonial treasure, and
to be the owner of the popular Bed&Breakfast (casa
particular) Casa Muñoz, built in 1800 and featured in
National Geographic (October 1999). Julio’s house has become a
"base camp" for international photographers, writers and
film-makers, making it possible for Julio to meet and learn from
leading photographers from all over the world.
Knowledgeable and proud of his venerable city, Julio is
regularly hired to help professional photographers and film-makers
on assignment in Trinidad. Despite the lack of equipments and
facilities (his slides are processed in UK and USA); Julio’s photos
had been published by the National Geographic Society, Avalon Travel
Publishing (Moon
Handbooks: Cuba), Macmillan Caribbean (Cuba
Classics: A Celebration of Vintage American Automobiles), and
Footprint.
