About Me

Hi,

I'm Nathan 

24

I live in Huntington Beach, Ca

My favorite color is green, (just green, no limes, no forests).

I am a freelance lifestyle/ travel photographer... (and editor). 

I love to create. I started photography, like most people, as a hobby. As long as I can remember I was doomed to the life of an artist (#dramatic). I took a million pictures as a kid. My parents still have a box full of undeveloped disposable cameras from my childhood. I'm sure there is an entire exhibition that will expand on the mysteries of the universe in that box, waiting to be printed. I love travel photography. I never really traveled a ton as a kid so I do my best to go everywhere I can now; (I have a big project in the works for 2016 so stay tuned). I've lived in Brazil and studied in Italy. I speak Portuguese fluently, and hope to keep learning languages. I've worked freelance for two years now, some events, some portraits, and a lot of photo editing (my inner perfectionist thrives on retouching). I'm currently interning with VOLCOM's art department and having a great time. Not sure what exactly my career will take me at this point but I hope to bring oceans to people that will never see them, stories from remote countries to those who can't visit, and awareness of issues to those who will change the world.
