About Me
I’m Emilio, a Seattle-based photographer with over a decade of experience capturing authentic moments and delivering impactful imagery through events, portraits, and creative projects.
My Approach
My approach to photography centers on three things: style, comfort, and light. Style comes first—it’s like choosing the genre for the story you’re about to tell, setting the tone for everything that follows. Comfort is key, I believe my best photos happen when I’m being myself and my subjects feel at ease, allowing authentic moments to unfold naturally. And finally, perhaps most importantly, there’s light. After years of working as a gaffer on video sets, my goal is to find or create just the right light to bring every shot to life.
What I Do
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to document everything from corporate events and weddings to creative projects and work processes. From properties and architecture to products and appetizers, my focus tends toward capturing human intention, connection, and the special imperfection of real moments, whether through the expression of hands at work or the energetic vibe of a buzzing event.
Beyond the Lens
When I’m not photographing, I’m usually chasing down other creative work: filmmaking, DJing, anything that keeps my mind engaged and my hands busy. I spend time in the woods when I can, or at home with my wife and our cats, surrounded by the small, fleeting things that make life feel full. We’ve built something that really works for us. If life is what you make it, I’d say we’re doing it right, even without the instructions. 🫢
Let’s Work Together
I believe in being grateful, generous, and generating meaningful work. If you’re looking for someone to capture your story with intention and style, let’s connect.
