My name is Mario Uribe, and I was born in Colombia, South America. Growing up in Texas and traveling around the world, I’ve had the privilege of considering many wonderful places home. Presently, I am fortunate to live in New York City, an incredibly photogenic city with a diverse culture, fascinating neighborhoods, and remarkable architecture.
my Camera, my Serenity
Each photograph I’ve taken represents a sincere endeavor to capture the very essence that makes each instant into its own captivating memory.
Although I call NYC home, I frequently travel to other places and many times to Los Angeles, where the contrast in cityscapes offers a refreshing shift in perspective. Whether wandering through the bustling energy of Astor Place or capturing the sleek modernity of Hudson Yards, I find that each walk reveals a new story through my lens. In LA, I’m often drawn to the vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere of it’s many beaches and deserts or the iconic stretches of Sunset and Hollywood Boulevards.
Here are a couple of quotes that inspire me every time I shoot.
"“Life is a great big canvass, throw all the paint you can at it.”"
"“First thought, best thought.”"
Alongside my passion for going out there and shooting, I admire today’s talented photographers and take a keen interest in learning from the pioneers of this art form in the past.
