Hi, I’m Manny - a portrait photographer based in Frederick, Maryland, with a deep passion for capturing people as they truly are. My work blends the intentionality of portraiture with the authenticity of photojournalism, telling real stories through honest, compelling imagery.

I’ve been behind the camera for over 20 years, and in that time, I’ve learned that the most powerful photos aren’t just well-composed — they’re emotionally true.Whether it’s a quite glance, a burst of laughter, or a fleeting connection, I aim to preserve what’s real and meaningful.

While portraits are the heart of what I do, I also photograph events like Weddings and Mitzvahs - focusing on the small, unscripted moments that make each celebration unique.

Influenced by street and travel photography, my approach is grounded, observant, and always people-first. Every session is a chance to create something timeless, personal, and true to you.

Let’s tell your story — one frame at a time.
