I shoot what’s
happening now.

I’m TJ—a San Diego photographer, videographer, and live production tech. I shoot sports, concerts, portraits, and events, and I work behind the scenes on live shows.

I know the
show side, too.

Since 2016, I’ve helped live shows happen—running lighting, cameras, video, projection, and stage operations, plus fixing whatever decides to stop working five minutes before doors.

About TJ

Hi, I’m TJ.

I’m a San Diego photographer, videographer, and live production tech. Most days, I’m either behind a camera or somewhere backstage.

I’m drawn to work that moves fast: sports, concerts, events, and portraits that don’t feel stiff. I like photos that feel honest—good light, real expression, and nothing forced.

Production has made me a better photographer. It taught me to read a room, work with changing light, stay calm when something breaks, and be ready before the moment happens.

Experience

What I’ve been up to.

A mix of live production, freelance photo and video, and fast-paced teamwork.
