EXCELLENT photos and really appreciate Manuel’s ability to shoot from all angles! He single-handedly worked a huge event at Constitution Hall and I’m amazed at his ability to be everywhere all at once. How Sweet The Sound (HSTS) will definitely be using him for all of our DC events in the future. Thank you for your responsiveness and flexibility regarding schedules.

Manny was awesome to work with. He arrived before my wife and I to get pictures of the space and decorations, as well as guests. He was always on top of what was happening and positioned himself to get great photos without being "in the way". Very approachable and easy to work with. Many compliments from the guests who saw the photos afterward!

Manuel was very responsive, kind, and easy to work with! He took great professional headshots for a lawyer at our firm and got the job done quickly too. Thank you, Manuel!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    My process is tailored to each individual and project because every client and job is unique. For example, when working on portraits, I start by learning as much as possible about the client's vision and what they hope to achieve with the photos. I welcome ideas and suggestions to ensure the final result aligns with their expectations. On the day of the shoot, I strive to create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere—almost like friends hanging out and capturing moments together. This approach helps bring out authentic expressions and makes the experience enjoyable for everyone involved

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Photography from UMBC, which provided me with a strong foundation in both technical skills and artistic expression. Beyond formal education, I've gained invaluable experience through years of hands-on work, learning through trial and error, and continually refining my craft. This combination of education and practical experience has been instrumental in shaping my approach to photography.
