Diego Garcia is a Mexican Director of Photography. He studied at the CCC Film School in Mexico City. Garcia first explored experimental B&W still photography, developing his work in a small darkroom.

Garcia was the first recipient of the Robby Müller Award in 2021. Following this, he worked on commercial projects with Daniel Wolfe and many others, allowing him to continue exploring visual language as a medium.
