first thing's first
Hi there, I'm Angelo. Thanks for stopping by.
I'm an LA-based novice digital photographer with an emphasis in landscape + street photography. Most, if not all, of my favorite shots were taken on my endeavors throughout Northern and Southern California.
I've been obsessed with taking photos for as long as I can remember. My Instagram post archives are filled with old sunset photos & landscapes I'd visit with my family on weekend outings dating back several years. After the pandemic, I picked the hobby back up and began posting my shots again. My biggest recent photography inspiration is Cody Mitchell.

how i'm here
On December 27th, 2024, I received my Fujifilm X-T50 in the mail as a late Christmas gift to myself. This would be my first official digital camera I could call my own, and I picked it up very quick. I've been hooked ever since.
Hobby aside, it's worth noting that this isn't my first dive into content creation/sharing; I have a YouTube channel under the same name. While the channel has been inactive for several years now, I see it as a time capsule of my growth as not only a content creator, but as a person as well. Although the content there may be juvenile, there's an innocence to it that still resonates with me to this day. Who knows, maybe we're in for a relaunch soon.
I don't do paid events or anything of the sort nor do I plan to, as I just do this for fun!
q: what do you do for work?
a: Outside of my photography hobby, I work as a Lens Technician for a cinema lens manufacturer. This aligns closely with my hobby & can be credited for introducing me to a lot of the people I shoot with today.
q: what gear do you shoot with?
a: As of July 2025, I primarily shoot on my Fujifilm X-T50 with a 15-45mm kit lens. I cycle through a few different lenses, but generally I find the kit lens works the most with my shooting style. I occasionally like using my Fujifilm Instax Evo, but I usually bring it out for more laid back social events. I know it's not the highest end gear in the world, but simplicity is best.
q: what is the point of this website?
a: To be frank, while I have been wanting a more solid way to showcase my work, a website is not the most conventional. Spending the time writing out each text line when I could just as easily post to Instagram is definitely a choice. Nobody goes on websites anymore. Websites feel like a dying media, so I felt it'd be a unique experience to build one out.
