Ernesto Zuñiga

Senior Filmmaker / Assistant Photographer


Ernesto is Jonathan's brother from the same mother. He is the one who is always making everyone laugh and the one we miss the most when he is not with us out on the field.

Ernesto is a wonderful example of loyalty. No matter the size or quality of the difficulty we ever encountered, we can always count on him as one who can always rise and shine for the occasion.

Dixie

Senior Photographer


Dixie is the best! A sweetheart, a kind and loving human being. Dixie's candid photos of people are absolutely insane! She has the particular ability to capture emotion when it is least expected. We have come to witness that Dixie's honest love for people always translates into genuine beauty in her photos of people. That's why Dixie is the best!

Franklin Velázquez

Assistant Photographer


Franklin is a quiet worker, a silent hero. In photographic terms, he is the fly on the wall, the unintrusive lens who captures all the details and interactions you didn't know were being captured.

The irony to Franklin being quiet is that he is the busiest and most excited one in the room. His love for the art and his enthusiasm for being helpful makes him a very valuable player in our team.
