More than meets the eye

Photographer and filmmaker Angel Colmenares discusses his growth as an artist with current show, "Perfect Imperfections"

For Angel Colmenares, photographer, cinematographer and San Juan Island resident, traveling around the world for his work is nothing new. He prefers to go by Angel, and he was born in Cuba and raised in Mexico City, eventually making his way to the Pacific Northwest during his high school years, when his family moved to Seattle from Mexico. Ever since he was a child, Angel had an interest in visual arts, specifically cinematography and filmmaking. However, due to an accident that caused him to lose sight in his right eye when he was 17, he thought he could not pursue filmmaking, transitioning to photography instead. He went to Brooks Institute of Photography in Ventura, CA, and after graduating, he worked as a commercial and fashion photographer in major hubs like Mexico City, New York City and San Francisco.
