FABIAN DELVEN Photographer

Biography

My name is Hector Fabian Cruz-Delven, but I like to be called Fabian Delven. I have always been an artist; art and design have always been a big part of my world.

I am a graphic designer and a photographer. I graduated with a BFA in Graphic and Visual Communication from New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire. As a graphic designer, I have a zeal for publication design. I have worked in the newspaper industry in Boston and New Hampshire. Photography has always intrigued me. I like to photograph people, structures, close-up objects and landscapes.

To me, photography is capturing the essence of an object by stopping an instant of time around it allowing the viewers of my photographs to examine a single moment in acute detail.
