Calvin Chiu
Hey, I’m Calvin, and it’s nice to meet you! I began my artistic journey as a portrait photographer, expanded into lifestyle and product photography, and eventually picked up cinematography as my main focus. My artistic style is heavily influenced by the hundreds of visual references that Alex sends me every week (seriously, that man is an endless supply of references, haha). Recently I’ve grown very interested in beautiful scenery and I can’t wait to start incorporating them into my work! I’m a big (home) gym freak who loves calisthenics and weighting, but I’m an even bigger foodie and can eat practically anything – Sushi, Korean BBQ, Mediterranean, you name it! An interesting fact about myself is that I share the same birthday as my older (yet inferior) brother, Vince.
Vince Chiu
Hey, I am Vince. I usually stay behind the scenes to focus on company operations and let Calvin and the team play with their toys, I mean create their magic. But you will find me behind the camera when it comes to automotive or architectural photography. I am a huge foodie and will try just about everything, but I absolutely hate pineapples.
Alex Karpenko
Hey, I’m Alex, the one who makes your ideas come to life. I am a Cinemaholic and a walking talking library of movie references. I let my work do the talking and hope you enjoy them.
Mitch Santos
Hello, I’m Mitch. I dropped out of college to pursue photography with my focus on storytelling through portraiture and high-fashion lifestyle photography. I try to pull inspiration from anywhere and everywhere: music, movies, social media, and pretty much anything that you’d see on a typical day outdoors (i.e. nature). Whenever I go location scouting I look at how the lighting hits a certain area, then I envision what I can create within that space. From there, I build a mental list of who I want to shoot, what outfits they should wear, and what poses I think would work best. Aside from photography, I am interested in sports (basketball), gaming (used to be a heavy gamer), parkour, and music. Oh, and I can throw a backflip and destroy anyone in an ice cream eating contest.
Sofi
Hi, I’m Sofi! I’m a lifestyle film photographer and I’ve been living in Los Angeles my entire life. Most of my work is centered around music artists and social media influencers, but I love branching out and trying new things – I dabble in video. I pull inspiration from a bunch of things, but some examples are nature, beaches, and the moon. I’m a big believer in the spiritual realm in ties with astrology, crystals, meditation, frequencies, and chakra healing. I also love going on hikes/working out with Calvin and Mitch, and I love making aesthetically pleasing videos to make all my friends jealous of how awesome we all are.
