Hey There,

Hey, I’m Juan Montano — a photographer based in Chicago. I like capturing real moments, whether it’s at an event, out on the street, or behind the scenes. My style leans candid and a little gritty, with a mix of digital and Polaroid shots depending on the vibe.

Lately, I’ve been shooting a lot of live events — including Chicago Pride Fest 2025 for Do312 — but I’m always open to new projects and ideas.

Right now, this is something I do because I love it — but I’m hoping to turn it into a full-time thing one day. If you like what you see and want to work together (or just talk gear), feel free to reach out
