The first final review of the Portfolio Project will be held with Alain Lazaro Gutierrez Almeida. Alain has served as a judge for NVPS competitions, and now as a reviewer for NVPS Portfolio Projects.

Alain Lázaro Gutiérrez Almeda is a professional photographer with more than 20 years of experience.  He was born and raised in Havana, Cuba.

With a background in photojournalism, he has developed an extensive portfolio that includes documentary-style photography, portraiture, cultural travel photography, street photography, action shots, landscapes, and night photography.

Alain is an energetic person with an engaging personality who enjoys collaborating with others in a creative environment. Since he moved to America, Alain has created his own company “Thru Alain’s Eyes” that designs, coordinates, and guides individualized tours that meet the legal requirements for Americans visiting Cuba and allow his clients to support and engage with the Cuban people, experiencing Cuba like a Cuban. Unfortunately traveling to Cuba is not an option today, so next year, Alain is expanding his trips to Spain starting next March 2024.

Alain also conducts workshops on photography fundamentals for Washington Photo Safari and assists Director, David Luria, with workshops and trips.
