About Edwin Carungay

Edwin is a street and social documentary photographer based on California’s Central Coast and the San Francisco Bay Area. His creative roots began in Southern California, photographing friends skateboarding. This early obsession with movement and subculture continues to shape the way he sees through the lens. Alongside a career in graphic design and multimedia production, photography has remained at the center of his creative practice, always drawn to fleeting moments rich with energy, color and texture.

His work extends from the streets of San Francisco to the communities of Oaxaca, where his documentary projects engage deeply with rituals, traditions, and the evolving meaning of home. Exhibited both locally and internationally, Edwin has been recognized by institutions he has long admired. His images seek to honor the visual rhythms of daily life – fragmented glimpses and gestures that reveal candid in-between moments where emotion, light, and context come together in unexpected ways.
