Capturing the Art of Life

General Info

My love for the art of photography started at the age of 13 when I took my first snapshot with an old Kodak 110 camera. Realizing I could capture a moment in time, I was instantly hooked by the magic of reproducing instantaneous depictions of life. Two years later, I worked all summer long and eventually saved enough to buy my first 35mm camera. By the age of 18, I photographed my first wedding. I take great pride in being self-taught. My passion and drive to excel has led me on a very rewarding journey. I have learned to appreciate the small details that make up the beautiful world we inhabit. Through my lens, I capture special moments and translate them into extraordinary expressions of art. Every opportunity to photograph a wedding, family, or child is unique, giving me a chance to “capture the art of life”. Thank you for stopping by. Manuel Ortega
