Patrick Jimbo Balagot, founder

Behind PJ Creatives.

We are a Panama City studio led by Patrick Jimbo Balagot, a photographer, filmmaker, and designer. We started with pictures and grew into a studio that takes a brand from the first frame to the campaign that sells.

For years we photographed whatever needed to look its best: apartments in Casco Viejo, dishes and cocktails, gyms and athletes, and weddings and families. Every job taught us the same lesson. Good images only pay off when the brand, the website and the campaign around them are just as good.

So now we do all of it. Branding, websites, SEO, paid campaigns, and social media sit next to the photography and video, planned together and made by the same team.

You work directly with Patrick and the people making your project, in English or Spanish. When a project needs more hands, we bring in specialists we trust and stay accountable for the result.

How we work.

Direct

You talk to the people doing the work, not an account manager.

Honest

No invented numbers. Goals are written down and results are reported as they are.

Made here

Photographs, video, and design are produced in house, not bought from a library.

What clients say.

One of the most creative and genuine photographers our Foundation has ever worked with. He was able to capture a unique and special moment for our beneficiaries and managed to handle a tangled environment with much ease. Don't pass up the chance to work with him!

It was great shooting with Patrick! I needed a photographer for a business shoot and he did a very good job of delivering the photos that I needed. Looking forward to working with Patrick once again, as I booked him for a different shoot next time.

Shooting with Patrick was awesome! I haven't modeled in years and it was nice being in front of the camera again. Patrick got all the shots of the vision we had for the shoot. Definitely looking forward to shooting more with him. I highly recommend him if you want QUALITY work.

Glad to have come across Pat's offer last December for our family's photoshoot! Budget-friendly rates and very accommodating. He is very professional and friendly which made my family comfortable with him during the shoot. The images are of high quality and make you want to have more photoshoots with him for special moments like ours.

Pat is so easy to work with and made sure that we were comfortable while he was taking photos during our wedding. It was very spontaneous and casual. He made sure he captured the unforgettable moments and highlights of that day!

Patrick is an amazing photographer. He went above and beyond our expectations. He captured who we were and our love for each other in his pictures. I remember I couldn't believe it was us in the picture because I had never seen what people see when they look at us. He made us look straight out of a magazine!
Linda & John
Patrick is an amazing photographer. He took our son's first birthday photoshoot to the next level, coordinated with our themes, and even suggested cool ideas! He also captured our precious family moments together. We recommend this guy because he delivered so well.

Patrick can make a photoshoot as fun as no other! He is a really talented photographer who brings out the best looks of anyone in pictures. Love his art!
Tai Muñoz
Patrick is a true artist. We are not adept at striking a pose so we absolutely love his proposals on how to act before he captures the moment with his lens. There was a time limit on the venue but he managed time professionally. We moved to an unplanned location and the artist in him pulled off a lot of amazing shots. Our pre-wedding photos turned out great!
