Javier Sanchez’ passion for photography started when he was in Mexico City, studying Archaeololgy at Escuela Nacional de Antropologia e Historia (ENAH). Javier became aware of the impact photography had in the sciences. He understood that proper photography was as important to archaeology as proper documentation. However, before completing his degree in Archaeology, Javier moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and eventually lived in downtown San Francisco where he decided to start a new carrier.
In the fall of 2001, Javier moved to Las Vegas, Nevada. Ready to learn as much as he could about photography, he obtained a degree in Commercial Photography from the College of Southern Nevada (CSN). This career path only confirmed Javier’s desire to continue learning and growing in the field of Fine Art photography.
Javier develops his own black and white film, which is becoming a lost art in today’s digital world. He uses mix media, color and black & white film photography to achieve the desire results. Javier’s work is the result of a learning process in and out of school throughout his entire life in Mexico and United States.
Javier Sanchez is currently enrolled at the University of Nevada Las Vegas majoring in Fine Arts with a concentration in photography.
