Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Juan Moreno Bianchi. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Juan, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today What sort of legacy are you hoping to build. What do you think people will say about you after you are gone, what do you hope to be remembered for?

As a visual artist since I’ve started 9 years ago the biggest thought in the back of my mind was always the fact that the paintings, photography and video work I produce will outlive me. That fact has always moved me and in a way it affected the body of work I’ve produced. When I look at it I see my legacy as any other visual artist, I produce to satisfy my natural needs of producing. However I do have the perception that art (for me) will always be a reflection of its time and the perceived zeitgeist and the life of the artist, every work of art is regardless of intention a self portrait in a way. In that sense I hope that in my work I am able to capture that essence and allow that my body of work can carry that beyond my time here and really outlive me.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Right now I work in two fronts, one is my painting production as a visual artist and in the other one my photography/video work. The painting really started 9 years ago when I drifted from finishing a Law degree and working with that for a while and then realizing it wasn’t what I was meant to be doing and restructuring my whole life into being a visual artist.
The video and photography however started after I moved, I had no art community or connections in Miami and art can be a very closed business if you’re an outsider. Then one day my partner who was interning in a small local fashion magazine offered me a photography assistant position, so I started from the very very bottom in a very small magazine assisting.
From there I kept just doing it, meeting people, working with different crews, in hundreds of different projects and working on that craft until I could offer proper photography and filmmaking services, and meeting really loved people in here that showed me a work team is also a family.
Thanks to that mentality I was able to work with clients like Tiffany, Chanel, Boss, … also magazines like Elle, Harpers Bazaar, L’Officiel and such.
Now I can say I am part of the Miami fashion community and I can really say I love being here.
I mostly work with teams in Miami and NY and the company now offers different services in photography, video, styling, production and equipment rental.

Any advice for managing a team?

A mentality that helped me in my line of business is that the people you work with are the most important asset in any production. The fact is you’re photoshoot will only be the result of the sum of its parts if you have a product that delivers a 10, a model that delivers a 10, a makeup artist 10, photographer 10, styling 10, assistants 10, you name it 10, you’re going to get something outstanding, however if you get someone that delivers a 5 then it’s almost impossible to get something remarkable as the work can only be the sum of its parts. So keep in mind that your job is also to facilitate that the whole crew can deliver at its best, don’t be stingy with small things, feed your crew properly and timely, care for your team like it’s your family that will get you results like you’ve never had.

We’d love to hear about how you keep in touch with clients.

As well as delivering at the best of your capabilities and an amazing product is important and the base of every work relationship should be what is even more important for clients is consistency. Keeping your word and doing exactly what you said will get you further then delivering more quality with no deadline or right quantity.
Obviously sometimes for deserving clients you should go an extra mile, but also and most importantly clients are people just like you and that being said creating real bonds, a good work environment and really just being a nice person to be around will get you or take away from you more jobs and clients then the quality of your work itself.
