This self taught photographer actually started in the world of spoken word poetry. Also an adept screen printer and music producer, photography became a mainstay in 2014 upon purchasing a used dlsr camera in Norfolk, VA for a music video. Using that camera for still photography ignited a passion. Manolo is now based in Tampa, FL and primarily working with artists of all mediums, unique businesses, and diverse families.

Ready to get started?

Here’s what to expect.

  • 1. Reach Out

    Call. Email. Text. Jump on social media and send a direct message! I’ll want to know who the images are for and who will be in them, how they’ll be used, and if there are any restrictions such as dates, times, budget, ect. I’ll respond within 1 day with options to schedule your consultation.

  • 2. Consultation

    During our phone or in-person consultation, we’ll discuss how to make the most of your shoot, answer any questions or concerns you may have, and get your deposit or photographer's fee paid. Most projects start at $250. The non-refundable deposit to reserve your date and time is $50.

  • 3. Preperation

    In the time leading up to the shoot I may reach out with additional ideas or considerations such as weather for outdoor shoots or location details. (construction/parades/ect) Feel free to reach out to me as well if there is anything that you want to add, change, or just have questions about. We are a team!

  • 4. Let's Shoot

    I’ll arrive early for the shoot and I suggest you do the same. Review the preparations we’ve discussed prior to arrival. Remember that things go wrong. You’ve left your tie. Someone is running late. You’re hangry. It happens. I am both flexible and professional and I always get great shots, even if they’re not exactly what we planned. And hey, even if everything goes according to plan, I get ideas on the spot and sometimes the best shots are not the ones we planned! This is the moment. Lets make the most of it.

  • 5. Reviewing Images

    You will be sent a link to download your styled and edited images. Upon request, further retouching may be done. Final payment will be required upon delivery unless otherwise agreed.

  • 6. Follow Up

    I will follow up to ensure that everything meets expectations and check if you need assistance with managing your images for their required use. Let’s follow and tag each other on social media.
