Luis Gomez is a freelance photographer and photojournalist who moved to Washington, D.C., in 2003 from Caracas, Venezuela. During his 15 years as a photographer, he has traveled the world collecting images for work and pleasure. Gomez has taken photographs throughout the Americas, Europe and Australia, focusing on cityscapes and architecture as well as the simplicity of landscapes and people.

Gomez studied architecture at the University of Tennessee and then returned to Venezuela to earn a B.A. degree in communications from Universidad Católica Andrés Bello in Caracas. He was a photographer and photo editor for publishing companies while doing freelance work for local and international media outlets.

Born to a Venezuelan mother and a Belize-American father, some of Gomez's earliest memories are of hurrying through airport terminals with a camera around his neck. He was raised in Brazil and Venezuela, and is fluent in Spanish and proficient in Portuguese.
