About

My interest in photography began with film. Learning photography through analog shaped the way I approach images, and I still carry that mindset today.

Photography quickly became one of my favorite hobbies. At first I photographed simple things around me. Many of my early photos were taken in my backyard, experimenting with light, shadows, and whatever subjects I could find.

Eventually that curiosity led me beyond the backyard and into new environments, including live music, live events, and lifestyle shoots where the energy and lighting create completely different challenges and opportunities.

Photography has remained a constant creative outlet for me. It's something I return to whenever I want to explore, observe, and capture moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed.

Outside of photography, I work professionally in animation and character rigging. You can see that work at diegoolivares.com.
