About

Born in 1992 under the vibrant skies of Los Angeles, I am a Libra on an insatiable quest for beauty and balance in the rich visual tapestry of this city. Armed with a degree in media and cultural studies from the University of California, Riverside, I graduated in 2013, brimming with ideas and a passion for exploring the vast canvas of human expression.

My journey into visual storytelling led me to the California Photography Museum, where my avant-garde video art graced its esteemed halls. During my formative years, I delved into the dynamic realm of magazine editorial internships, refining my storytelling skills. As a lighting assistant at Milk Studios, I honed my craft, developing a keen eye for narrative through the lens.

In 2019, my photography earned a coveted feature in Rolling Stone, marking my ascent in contemporary photography. Venturing into the elite social scene of West Los Angeles, I transformed high-profile events into visual symphonies, each click a note in the grand composition of opulence.

Embracing a nomadic spirit, I travel far and wide, infusing diversity into my visual repertoire. Through my lens, I invite you to see the world as a kaleidoscope of emotions—a gallery of frozen moments. Experience the magic through fine art prints available at @TheLostAngeleno, where each piece is a portal into the soul of Los Angeles, captured with unparalleled finesse.
