“Emilio asked me to write a sentence or two - I can’t do that. I’ve shot alongside Emilio, taken photos of him, and have been shot by him. In every instance, Emilio is a photographer’s photographer. The kind of photographer who you never quite know what to expect from, except that whatever it will be good, and not at all, ever, the least bit “cookie cutter.” Emilio puts me at ease — which is saying a lot for someone who usually clams up in front of the camera, and when he’s shooting alongside me I usually take notes from the angles his eyes find. I’m glad to know him as a photographer and even more to have him as a friend. Hiring Emilio will result in authentic photographs from the heart, safely storing memories for years to come in a beautiful way — not that I need to say this, his portfolio speaks volumes I could never come close to expressing.”
