Hi! My name is Sandro. I am a photographer and multi-media artist. I have spent over 10 years working professionally in the media production industry.

My skills range from still to motion and commercial to documentary. I got my start as a kid working for a mom-and-pop doc-shop north of Chicago by the name of “Trillium Productions”. Starting there as an intern in my high school years, I worked my way up to a full-time editor and then associate producer in the course of 4 years. While working for Trillium I had the freedom to take on freelance gigs in the advertising world, where I worked in many disciplines and for high-profile clients, getting to see many facets of the industry. From there I left Chicago and lived in both New York and São Paulo where I worked extensively on feature films, commercials, and photo shoots. My years in São Paulo were spent making art, following around bands, and working in-house in a high-profile photo studio. In New York, I spent most of my time on non-union commercial and feature film shoots. I also worked a good bit documenting art for some of the world’s premier artists, a niche skill set I am proud of.

For my entire career, I have kept my passion for documentaries flowing. I worked on a handful myself and for directors such as Errol Morris. I helped produce and shoot a feature documentary about an artist community in Brazil where I lived and worked.

People have told me to slow down and focus on one discipline. But to this day I struggle with that concept. I love making images and working with people. I love how a camera opens doors to a universe of possibilities. I don’t intend on changing that.
