Commercial Photography By Victor Saavedra – From Patagonia to the Canadian Rockies

VICTOR SAAVEDRA

I always loved gadgets and dreamed of being a detective. But life didn’t follow that path.

While studying forensic photography, I realized I wasn’t chasing crime scenes—I was chasing the camera itself.

With a $300 Fuji S1500, then a Nikon D40 from a friend, I discovered a new world. Unemployed but inspired, my father’s gift of a photography diploma lit the fire. From small projects to full-time work in Banff, photography became my way of living.

Looking back, I see it clearly: creativity was always with me. Photography isn’t just my career—it’s my ikigai, the thing I was meant to do.

Victor invited me to join his projects. I loved being part of every idea and challenge, even if I was just supporting from the side.

One day, he asked me: “Do you want to be part of this?” That simple question changed everything.​

 

Together we created Pixel Pumas — “Pixel” for the digital art we craft, and “Pumas” for our roots in Patagonia, where strength and resilience inspire us.

 

What began as passion became our shared adventure — a company that tells stories, captures moments, and shares beauty with the world.

Why Pixel Pumas?

A pixel is the smallest part of a digital image. Alone, it’s just a dot of color—but together, pixels create unforgettable pictures.

 

The puma, subtle yet powerful, is the spirit of our roots in Patagonia. Now in the Canadian Rockies, we carry that same wild energy—hunting for powerful stories to preserve through photography and film.

 

At Pixel Pumas, we don’t just take pictures. We help businesses and individuals tell their story—with visuals that last a lifetime
