ABOUT
I'm Diego, a portrait and editorial animal photographer based in Atlanta. For over a decade I've been making studio portraits of dogs, cats, and the occasional bird or lizard.
I understand every photographic principle from lighting to lenses, and I work with professional photo labs to deliver prints that belong on a wall. But the gear and the credentials are just the supporting cast. What I really do is help your pet relax in front of a camera long enough to show you who they actually are.
