Hey there! I’m Joe Belial (Jose Luis Monroy Tinoco), a French-Colombian photographer and videographer living in London. My passion lies in black and white photography, especially portraiture, where I strive to capture the essence of my subjects through the timeless lens of monochrome.
Currently, I’m immersed in a special project close to my heart—a dance initiative focused on bringing movement and creativity to kids in underdeveloped areas who lack access to formal dance education. This project, which has been ongoing since 2016, collaborates with professional dancers to conduct workshops for these children, aiming to spark joy and self-expression through dance.
One unique aspect of this endeavor is its visual approach, all captured in striking black and white. It’s a choice that adds a timeless and artistic dimension to the storytelling. I’m excited about the impact this project can make and the moments we can preserve through the lens. We are still in the process of securing funding to expand our reach and impact, and I look forward to seeing how far we can go.
