ABOUT
A photographer and cinematographer with over 18 years of freelance, corporate, and commercial experience, Nino is one of Oakland’s most creative and versatile artists. His deep understanding of music and movement, combined with high level graphic design skills allow him to cover a unique space in visual expression. His work has been featured in publications such as British Vogue, GQ, Tatler, L.A. Times, Nickelodeon and CBS, with clients that range from corporations like HP, East Bay MUD, Blue Shield of California, UCSF to Grammy-winning artists, Bandaloop and SF Jazz Collective.
“I love taking concepts and abstract pieces and turning them into tangible elements that turn into a carefully crafted brand and identity. Big or small, everyone I work with gets the same focus and attention to detail.”
Nino is also a professional musician with over 20 years of experience in both live and studio settings, commanding a variety of musical expressions that has made him a very busy sideman, and a very sought after collaborator within the music and arts community.
In addition to his creative practice, Nino serves as a board member for ARTogether. An arts-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting immigrant and refugee communities through accessible cultural programming, advocacy, and creative empowerment. His commitment to both artistic excellence and social impact continues to shape his work, positioning him as a dynamic force in contemporary independent media and community-centered arts initiatives.
