Hey there! I’m Franky.


I’m a photographer and filmmaker currently soaking up the sunshine in San Diego, CA. I’m all about outdoor adventures, chasing good light, and sipping a cup of tea after a day in the wild.

My work lives at the intersection of nature, people, and story. I’ve had the joy of shooting for outdoor brands, climbing up dusty trails with a camera in hand, and working behind the scenes on broadcast TV shows like Human Footprint on PBS. I’m in my element when the work feels raw, honest, and deeply connected.

I especially love telling stories that celebrate community, the natural world, and the places where the two overlap. Bonus points if i’m covered in dirt by the end of the shoot.

Thanks for being here! Feel free to reach out anytime. I would love to chat.
