Welcome to Puerto Rico Photography. My name is Orlando Mergal. I am a landscape and fine art photographer based in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico Photography is much more than a place to buy landscape and fine art photos of Puerto Rico and the United States. I also shoot location, food, real estate, corporate, industrial and still life photography. And in case you’re wondering… NO, I don’t shoot weddings. For more details on all my services visit my Photography Services section.

WALL ART FOR YOUR HOME OR OFFICE

Originally this site was about fine art landscape photos of Puerto Rico. That included Old San Juan, El Yunque Rainforest, Beaches and Tropical Landscapes. But now we’ve expanded to cover gorgeous vistas of the United States like the Grand Canyon, the Smokey Mountains, Shenandoah, Acadia, the Rocky Mountains, Grand Teton, the Blue Ridge Parkway, the Maroon Bells, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, the Great Sand Dunes, Arches, Zion, Bryce, Mesa Verde, Monument Valley and many other National and State Parks.

Our prints are mainly for personal use at your home or office. Each photo is color corrected and retouched to assure magazine quality levels.

You can also license our images for commercial use under a special license agreement. Call us today at: 787-306-1590 or 787-750-0000 for details.

PRESERVING NATURE FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

Although I do own a site called Puerto Rico By GPS, where the central premise is to I give specific GPS coordinates for each attraction, those are locations that want and need the traffic.  You will find no GPS coordinates on the Puerto Rico Photography site.  Puerto Rico Photography is all about my images, not about leading people to each location.

GPS coordinates are a double edge sword.  On one hand, they make travel extremely easy because they allow people to drive straight to each location.  On the other, they create excessive traffic that can lead to the destruction of the very sites that you would like people to see.

At Puerto Rico Photography we strive to keep each location as clean and safe as possible, and attracting hoards of tourists to run them over is exactly what we can’t do.  Sorry, but that would be too much guilt to carry.

THE GOAL OF A LIFETIME…

One of my dreams as a landscape and fine art photographer is to visit the United States National Parks. All of them!!! But, there are so many, and they are spread across such a vast country, that covering them can take a lifetime. Add to that the hundreds of state parks that you find along the way and the goal becomes even more ambitious.

The landscape and fine art photos on this site are my best effort so far. They are the product of 35+ years of hard work and thousands of miles on the road. And believe me, I’ve enjoyed every minute.
