We’re told to smile when being photographed but does that smile reflect the moment being captured…

My name is Jesús Antonio Orozco. I was born in San Diego, California in 1993. I am first generation American with roots spreading through Mexico. I’m very grateful for my parents, they have worked hard their whole lives for my sister’s and I to pursue our dreams. I am the youngest of three siblings and a proud parent of a rescue dog.

For many years I’ve worked on my photographic technique, traveling around the world while studying and building new skills. My goal is to share my experiences and help others share their stories through photography.

I shoot with a Nikon Z6. My favorite style of photography is portraiture. I create time-stamps for people, of a single place in time. These memories can be shared as the years go by, references of one’s evolution.

I’m experienced in both studio and outdoor settings. Projects that I excel in include: individual/group portraiture, pregnancy, kids & toddlers, engagement, editorial, landscape/travel, product photography, + videography.
