    Stop in and take a look at all of the photos!

    The work that is on display and available for sale is vibrant and eye catching. The photographer who is behind these photographs, uses the profits from the sale to help the children in the photographs go to college.

    I hate to harp about an art exhibit, but there's just not a whole lot here. This is a great place to spend 5 minutes, but that's about it. If you're going to Cafe Condesa, check it out, otherwise it's not really worth putting on...More

    Just looked around and admired the pictures!

    After dining at the Cafe Condesa, I stopped by at this small gallery and admired their exhibits. I did not buy anything, but if you're into arts and pictures, do drop by and see it for yourself. Enjoy!

    Excellent Photos of Local Children

    Although it's just a tiny gallery within Café Condesa, it's well worth a stop to see very high quality photos of indigenous Guatemalan children. Large prints are framed and mounted on the walls while smaller prints are also available. It would be very difficult to...More

    Cute little gallery

    Cute gallery in downtown Antigua, a good stop if you're walking by. This is not a time consuming stop, it is small and quick to get through.

    Thanks for the great review. We have moved to a new location just inside the building with Cafe Condesa, right on the Park Central. Come by next time you are in Antigua. Browsers are always welcome. Jon

    Beautiful photos of children from around the world, including Guatemala

    I really enjoy photography as an art form, so was pleased to spot El Fotografo whilst exploring Antigua City. The work is beautiful and the children's faces just a joy - I bought two small prints. The staff were very helpful and some of them...More

    What a treat

    This store has an amazing collection of photographs taken of people, mostly children, all around Guatemala. The pictures are filled with emotion and are a joy to see. Worth a stop, even if just to look.
