“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 is, 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.”
“Emilio shoots from the heart. He doesn’t just take beautiful photos, he captures the true essence of every individual he photographs. I honestly cried when I got my photos back because I felt like he saw me for who I truly am. And that says a lot about Emilio, not only as a photographer, but as a human being.”
“[Emilio has] always “seen” me. Every shoot we’ve done together, I’ve always felt comfortable — never a hint of judgement or shame, only a shared love for art.”
“Emilio has a kind heart and a good soul, which is reflected in his work. I feel so safe to be myself with him.”
“I booked a shoot with Emilio because I wanted to get some pep back in my step. Not only did he have INSANELY creative ideas, but he made me feel confident and beautiful in every shot. Making art with him made ME feel like art!”
“These are the best photos I have ever received — they really represent me. I’m honestly so happy. Thank you so much.”
