STILLZ is an American-Colombian photographer and film director, and a Cannes Lions winner known for bold visual work. Influenced by Andy Warhol’s Polaroids, he has documented urban life using a 1970s Polaroid Big Shot camera. His photo book ONE is the first printed selection from this ongoing series, designed like a telephone directory. Passionate about Latin culture, STILLZ has built a distinctive catalogue through repeated collaborations with artists such as Bad Bunny and Rosalía. He directed the short film DOESN’T IT FEEL LIKE THIS WAS THE BEGINNING? (2023). BARRIO TRISTE is his feature directorial debut.
