About Me
I have to many flaws to be perfect, but I have to many blessings to be ungrateful. In frame: CJ Franco
It all started when…
When I was a 8 year old boy, picking up my fathers camera. He wanted me to hold the tripod and steady the camera in his direction as he was making family films. Ever since then I always messed around with a camera. As I got older (unconsciously doing so) I always bought a new camera every year or upgraded to a better cell phone because of the camera capabilities. It never really clicked until one year in college, studying chemistry to go into pharmacy, I had to take a random 1-credit class, in which I chose film & photography. And that changed the course of everything. I dropped out of my 5th year pharmacy program and started studying at home by myself to learn everything about fashion, film, cameras, lenses, modeling and posing, all just to pursue something that made me happy, photography!
I moved out to Los Angeles and juggled 4 different jobs, averaging 100 hour work weeks, all while building my photography & videography portfolio on the side. I put myself in positions to work for big named brands, celebrity artists, LA’s number one photography studio and met/learned from the best photographers in LA. On my free time, I would either have a camera in my hand or be in front of a computer editing. That’s my life in a nutshell and I love every moment of it.
And now, well… here we are! So what’s next?
Well, let’s have you go pick your outfits and I go pick my lens of choice. And let’s have some fun, shall we?
