History

I am both a visual/ fine artist as well as performing artist. My creative passion was born as a child playing the piano and drums at the influence of my father, Victor Jr. whose lifelong career was as a musician and music, school teacher. As his second venture as an artist while in high school, I drew a lifelong passion and inspiration from my grandfather, Victor Sr., for film and photography. Victor Sr. had a photography business/ studio in Globe, AZ. In high school, I inherited Victor Sr.'s vintage, large-format camera used in his original studio. From there my passion for photography was born and I took photography and film classes in high school and excelled. I formally began my photography/ film business in 2010 starting with working with hi-profile celebrities & professional athletes.
