  Both Oscar & Jessica Lozoya are Master Photographers, Photographic Craftsman and are Certified Professional Photographers. They are the only husband and wife team in the state of New Mexico to hold these prestigious designations.

  Certified Professional Photographer is a designation granted by the Professional Photographic Certification Commission, the world's leading certification agency of imaging professionals. Those who have earned certification have passed a comprehensive written examination measuring their technical expertise and have successfully submitted their work to a panel of judges for review and approval. And every five years, a Certified photographer must renew the credential with continuing education, assuring you that they maintain an unmatched level of expertise and development. Less than 3% of all photographers hold this mark of excellence.

    Oscar Lozoya's favorite pastime as a child was drawing and painting. In his early teens he took up music and for many years made his living as a professional musician. Oscar discovered photography and soon knew it was what he wanted to do. Oscar opened Lozoya Studios in his old South Broadway neighborhood in Albuquerque, NM shooting commercial photography specializing in people: Album covers, posters, press kits, ads, magazines spreads, etc. He found that much of the same technique and models used in Commercial Photography could also be used in Fine Art Photography.

    Among the awards his work has received are: 12 time Photographer/Director of the Year through the Professional Photographers Association of New Mexico. In 2004, 1998, and 1997 Oscar received the Highest Print Case Score in the Southwest from the Southwestern Professional Photographers Association. He has also received the Regional Medallion Award through the American Society of Photographers in 2009, 2005 and 2003. Oscar began entering print competition in The Professional Photographers of America (PPA) in 1996 and has had 29 prints accepted into the National Loan Collection. In 1999 he received The Master of Photography degree on print merits only, that same year he received The Photographic Craftsman degree on speaking merits only. In 2003 Oscar Lozoya became one of the first photographers to receive the newly created Excellence in Imaging Award from the PPA that requires a minimum of 13 national loan prints to qualify. In 2009 he was one of less than 30 photographers worldwide to receive the newly created Plus XIII Bar. The Professional Photographers of America has also selected Lozoya's images for a full page National Ad Campaign. In 2008 Oscar received the National Award from and is a Past President of the Professional Photographers Association of New Mexico.
