ABOUT ME
Born and raised in the South Bay of California, I remember my mom would take photos of my siblings and I as kids non-stop. Every single event, you could not escape the camera, and I used to whine and complain having to pose for photos. Now looking back those photos are the only thing that bring me back to each specific memory I have throughout my life in so much detail. Photos evoke emotion in such a powerful way, and with 6+ years of experience now shooting with DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and drones I want to share my talent with others and let them feel the same experience I did looking back on my childhood. My portfolio consists of family, friends and events people have asked me to photograph. I have worked at Trader Joe's in Manhattan Beach for the past 3 years but felt it was time I finally pursue my photography career. It's my passion in life. I'm currently majoring in photography at El Camino College and accepting clients in the LA area. I am not limited to any specific type of photography.
Questions
What do I shoot and where?
I am comfortable taking photos of anything! Events, portraits, products, pets, you name it. Whether you need a photo as sharp as a tack, or want a nostalgic candid feel I can make it happen. I love shooting outdoors and I'm comfortable traveling to any location in the LA area that feels significant to you. I can work with natural lighting and ,or flash substituted lighting. And I know it sounds crazy but I edit my photos as minimally as possible. I focus on getting the colors and composition of the photo in the moment using the camera settings and available lighting. While I don't use photoshop as a crutch, I am comfortable working with Lightroom and always make sure the image is crystal clear and properly exposed.
What do I shoot on?
I shoot on a Sony a6700, I also have a full frame Nikon D700 if you need large prints. I really enjoy shooting on fun wide angle, telephoto and macro lenses to get fun out of the ordinary shots. I have portable strobe lights for perfectly lit sunset photos , as well as on camera HSS flashes for any situation. I also have years of experience working with drones all over the United States for real estate, or water sport photography. Most importantly I have an eye for what a great photo looks like. I can make anyone and anything look the best they ever have on a camera guaranteed without sacrificing an authentic feel.
