I Don’t Take Photos, I Capture Worlds You Can Step Back Into

I shoot with vision, not presets.

Real life. Real moments.

No filter. Just the real me.

William Chiriboga is my father.

You can call me Gubi.

I shoot what moves me. What dares to be real. My style’s all instinct. No fuss. No setups. Just the tension between light and presence. This isn’t just about capturing moments. It’s about composing emotion and atmosphere through the lens.

What you’ll see here is how I see the world.

The Root of it All

I didn’t find photography. It found me. I was fourteen when I picked up a camera for the first time. I didn’t know what I was doing. I just knew this was how I was meant to look at the world. The click of the shutter. The focus tightening. The thrill of locking eyes with a moment no one else saw coming. It all made sense to me in a way nothing else did.

All it took was that first shot. Suddenly, it was as if I opened my eyes for the very first time. The camera became an extension of how I think and feel. It taught me patience and curiosity. To see in moments. To move with intuition. To listen with my eyes.

Photography became the first way I knew how to use my voice. Before anything else, I was a photographer. And I always will be.

This isn’t a skill.

It’s the way I view the world.

The Way I See It

Photography opened the door. Over time, I built the foundation in to four pillars. Each part is shaped by a different energy. A different purpose.

Commercial. Portrait. Event. Personal.

Four distinct paths that sharpened my eye and deepened my craft. Each one taught me something different.

These aren’t gigs. They’re genres. Different languages. And I speak them all fluently.

The Work in Focus

Commercial

Sharp, effective visuals built to sell, persuade and perform.

make it sell
Portraits

I capture people as they are or how they’ve always wanted to be seen.

Face to face
Celebrations

Document the moments that bring us together.

Personal Work

Shooting to explore. To express. To see what I haven’t seen yet.
