May 6, 2025I hired Manny for a graduation photo shoot of my son from Cal-Poly Pomona. I asked Manny to arrange details directly with my son & he did. My son said he had a very positive experience with Manny. He was professional and easy to talk to. He gave direction but he was also open to suggestions my son had. Most importantly, he allowed my son to feel comfortable. I would definitely hire Manny again and I thank him for his service and expertise.

April 8, 2024I wanted shots done of my dog playing before she went into surgery. Manny came recommended from a friend. He was quick to correspond and seemed to know his stuff. I thought getting good pictures of my dog would take a while but Manny got it done in no time! The lighting on his shots was perfect. Very polite and squared away young man! I’d hire him again.

Client Styling: I encourage wardrobe and prop selection to align with your brand or story theme.
🔊 Sound (for video or live coverage)
Quiet Zones: For interviews or advocacy storytelling, ambient noise should be minimized.
Mic Support: Lavalier and shotgun microphones available upon request for crisp audio capture.
