ABOUT ME

Hi! I’m Jesse!

I am a graphic designer and self-taught photographer. Born in Santa Ana, raised in Riverside, but working in Los Angeles. I specialize in music and event photography but enjoy capturing other things like — portraiture, headshots, weddings/engagements, graduations, shows, and lifestyle scenes.

My journey with media began while attending my first festivals in 2015. Being able to capture memories and build community with media has always brought me countless adventures. 

While studying graphic design, I picked up on an analog photography course where I developed a strong eye for composition, light, and storytelling. Over time, my priorities from graphic design naturally shifted towards photography—which allowed me to capture moments where I was improving a stronger visual imagery to viewers. I combine my design background with a photographer’s lens to capture vibrant and colorful events.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible artists — Steve Aoki, Deorro, Eli Brown, Justice, Francis Mercier, Benny Benassi, Mahmut, and Michael Bibi are just a few I’ve enjoyed capturing. I’ve been hired by Insomniac and Frameworks to photograph club sets and festivals, worked with couples to capture their special day, and hired by brands to help promote their products. I’m committed to continuously growing—both as a creative and as someone driven to help others see things from a new perspective.

If you’re looking to bring your vision into life, let’s work together and make it happen.
