    Alexander Medina
    Alexander is a professional photographer who specialize in capturing special events, sports, portraits and landscapes. What sparked his interest in making a business was doing a onetime gig for CSUDH; it was to fulfill his 2021 graduation requirements to earn his BA in Digital Media Arts.

    The Gig was located in Dominguez Rancho Adobe Museum; his job was to help with the museum's advertisements by taking photos and videos. Then edit them, so his boss can use them for his website. It turned out great, and his boss was pleased with the quality of the photos and videos he provided him at the time.

    After the experience, it made him want more gigs! Which led him to get more gigs and form a business.

    Furthermore, he's looking forward to hearing from his students.

    I've passed by this live oak tree countless times and took dozens of pictures of it from different vantage points. In all those pictures I never felt I captured the tree's size and grandeur. But after making some post processing adjustments I was able to highlight its features and isolate it from its thickly wooded surroundings.Wilderness Glen Park has many live oaks through the entire park but this one in particular always stood out to me.

    I live near the water. As I worked in my garden, this eagle landed near the water's edge. It stayed long enough for me to grab my good old Cannon Rebel and I was able to capture several images with my 200mm lens. The bird seemed to have no fear of me. I moved slowly peacefully towards it and I ended up about 25' away. I did not want to scare it, so I only captured a few images. When I had finished, the bird remained here for quite some time. It was an amazing experience. I did crop the image to
