About Me

Greetings! I am Mario, a versatile photographer with a keen eye for capturing compelling images through my camera. Based in Los Angeles, I bring a wealth of experience and a passion for photography and cinematography that spans two decades.

I hold two Bachelor degrees – one in Film and another in Theatre, both from the University of Texas at Austin. This educational foundation has greatly influenced my approach to visual storytelling.

Having honed my craft in the vibrant atmosphere of the Los Angeles film industry for 20 years, I've cultivated a deep understanding of the art and science behind creating captivating visual narratives.

Photography and cinematography are not just my professions; they are my passions. My style is characterized by clean and uncluttered compositions, embracing simplicity in lines and high contrast colors. I play with dynamic range and color harmonies to ensure my subjects stand out, creating visually stunning stories.

For portrait and headshot photography, my mission is to capture authenticity. I believe in engaging with my subjects, learning their stories, and understanding what makes them unique. Through genuine interactions and thoughtful questions, I strive to unveil the confidence and approachability within each individual.

Listening is Key! Known for being easy to talk to and an attentive listener, I create a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere during photoshoots. I believe that the best photos emerge when subjects feel at ease, allowing their true selves to shine through.

Whether you're looking for captivating fashion, lifestyle, product, or food photography, I am dedicated to creating images that tell compelling stories and leave a lasting impression. Please consider me for your next photography session.
