Hi, I'm Gerard Lalo Sandoval

I’m originally from Mexico, but I’ve called L.A. home for most of my life. I currently live in Los Feliz with my beautiful and talented wife, Niki, and our small poodle, Herbert.

 

My love for photography has been lifelong, much like my fascination with Vintage Americana and classic Hollywood films. I believe this passion stems from my experience as an immigrant child, arriving in a foreign land at the age of eight and yearning to belong. These inspirations naturally weave their way into my images, infusing my work with nostalgic storytelling and a distinct vintage vibe.

I understand that being in front of the camera can feel daunting—trust me, I’m much more comfortable behind it—but imagine this: you, completely relaxed, enjoying the moment, and feeling at ease. By the end of our session, you won’t just have had a great time; you’ll also leave with images that capture your story in a way that’s both timeless and true to you.

I’d love the chance to meet you and collaborate on something unforgettable, striking, and maybe even a little bit magical. Let’s create something incredible together!
