"Light is emotion. The way we shape it, control it, and contrast it determines the mood of every frame.” — Roger Deakins
Background
fotografiatariq® was founded on the belief that photography is more than a medium—it is an art form that demands mastery of light, composition, and emotion. Our work is deeply inspired by the brilliance of Caravaggio’s Chiaroscuro, the divine precision of Michelangelo’s Forms, the raw movement of Bernini’s Sculptures, and the soul-stirring realism of Rembrandt’s Portraits. These Old Masters transformed their canvases and marble into timeless expressions of human experience, and at fotografiatariq, we seek to channel that same artistic intensity into every frame we capture.
From an early age, Tariq Al Madanat Jaar was drawn to the profound storytelling power of imagery. What began as an insatiable curiosity evolved into a lifelong pursuit of visual excellence. His journey led him to formal training in Amman, Jordan, and ultimately to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Cinematography and Film Production from Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina, USA. - [Tariq Al Madanat Jaar Named to Dean's List at Bob Jones University.]
Upon returning to San Pedro Sula, Tariq partnered with Lucía Villar, a kindred creative spirit, to establish fotografiatariq. Their shared vision was clear—to redefine photography as an art of depth, drama, and storytelling. Together, they cultivated a collective of passionate artists, bound by the philosophy that every image should transcend mere documentation and instead evoke emotion, movement, and meaning.
At fotografiatariq, we do not simply take photographs—we sculpt light, frame narratives, and immortalize moments with the same reverence and artistry that inspired the great Old Masters.
Mission statement
At fotografiatariq®, we believe that photography is not just about capturing moments—it is about sculpting light, shaping emotion, and immortalizing stories. Inspired by the great old masters, we fuse classical artistry with modern technique to craft images that transcend time. Our mission is to push creative boundaries, transforming fleeting instants into visual legacies that stir the soul and ignite the imagination. Every frame we create is an exploration of depth, contrast, and meaning— a testament to the profound power of visual storytelling.
Our Vision
We envision fotografiatariq as a vanguard of artistic photography, where each image is more than a reflection—it is an experience. Our goal is to redefine the visual landscape of Central America, establishing a new standard of excellence where every photograph is a masterpiece. Through relentless innovation, unwavering passion, and a commitment to artistic integrity,
We aim to inspire a new generation of visual storytellers who see beyond the lens and into the soul of the moment.
