Established on the Isla del Encanto, Puerto Rico, Jessill Ayala has cultivated his photography since early childhood. Coming from a family surrounded by art, Jessill developed a taste for painting, drawing and sculpture, which the photographer manages to capture in his art through the lens. He studied Graphic Design at Atlantic College in Puerto Rico.

After more than 30 years of photography, the young photographer has managed to combine his warm, vulnerable and sensitive character with his passion for seeing life as he tells stories through his lens.

He met someone who changed his life and taught him to see things from another point of view, since then every time he uses his camera he asks God to allow him to see how He sees, that people see the strength, passion, love, joy and the moment, and while viewing their photos they can be located in that moment and space, understand what is required to be able to do so, listen to the music of the photo, and create a whole movie of a microsecond of a photo.
