Born in San José, Costa Rica, Juan Carlos Delgado has spent the last five years capturing the magic of nature and human connection through his lens. Specializing in wildlife, landscapes, and architecture, Juan’s work showcases Costa Rican biodiversity while also bringing in global influences. His photography draws viewers into intimate, close-up moments, celebrating both the vibrant beauty and subtle details that make each scene unique. Juan’s style is all about intimacy and simplicity—he uses telephoto lenses and close-up shots to bring viewers directly into the scene. With each photograph, he aims to evoke feelings and memories, inspiring a deeper awareness and appreciation for the natural world. For Juan, nature itself is the ultimate collaborator; he embraces the unpredictable elements of light, color, and movement to create moments that are as organic as they are breathtaking. Sometimes he just pauses, breathes, and observes, allowing himself to feel the moment before he captures it. An entrepreneur and a passionate storyteller, Juan is thrilled to bring his work to Sol Gallery, where he hopes to connect viewers to Costa Rica’s stunning beauty and positive energy. Outside of photography, he enjoys good food, family time, and planning his next adventure—always with a camera close at hand, ready to capture whatever inspires him next.
