Hey

I’m Juan, a photographer and videographer based in Northern California. Basically, if it involves a camera, I’m in. What started as a fun hobby has spiraled into a full-blown career over the past five years, and honestly, I’m loving every second of it. Storytelling is what drives me —because let’s face it, a pretty picture or a slick video edit is cool, but giving it meaning? That’s where the magic happens.

I’m a gear nerd who loves capturing raw, heartfelt moments just as much as I love nerding out about the latest camera tech. When I’m not shooting, you’ll probably find me messing around on the piano (poorly) or falling down a YouTube rabbit hole on filmmaking.

Let me be part of your journey and tell your story through my lens.
