Having you photograph, not only myself but folks at my event, was magic. Your ability to capture moments and their essence is amazing. I personally felt very comfortable and welcome in front of your camera because you approach your subjects as people. [You are] this beautiful soul with this intelligent wit, coming from such a loving space. There’s no tension. You can trust that what’s being captured will be beautiful.
As someone who feels uncomfortable being infront of the camera, Adriano made me feel comfortable and confident! His photo really captured the essence of that particular moment, and it was super exciting to see the photo afterwards. If you’re looking for someone to capture something unique, yet authentic, I would highly recommend Adriano!
Adriano’s work has quickly become a favorite - not only because he has captured such amazing and sweet photos of myself and my child, but because of the storytelling his photography portrays. I first met Adriano at a pro-Palestinian march downtown and he asked to take our photos and share them after the fact which is such a kind gesture. The focus on social justice movements and cultural significance of the times comes through in his work and that’s what makes for a great photographer!
