Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Antonio.

I’m both a fine art and commercial photographer, operating from my base in Brooklyn, NY. Besides my core photographic endeavors, I am also privileged to instruct aspiring photographers at BRIC Arts in Brooklyn. Before stepping into the world of professional photography, I honed my skills at the School of Visual Arts and gained industry experience as a photo editor. My fervor for creating arresting visuals isn't limited to still photography, as I’ve also ventured into professional filmmaking. The works of classic photographers like Bernice Abbott, Walker Evans and Saul Leiter (to name a few) fuel my inspiration. My wide-ranging portfolio embraces subjects in both black and white as well as color. I staunchly stand by the idea that a great photo isn't dependent on the equipment but the eye behind it, leading me to shoot with an array of gear, from high-end Fujifilm tools to the ever-reliable iPhone. Parallel to my photography journey, I co-anchor the well-liked podcast "Street Shots," dedicated to the art of photography.
