Orlando Perez, a native of Southern California, has been blessed to see the beauty of life beyond his camera lens. With so many obstacles, Orlando is a tribute to the prevailing strength of the human spirit that comes when we lead our lives with determination. Having learned the possibility of the "American Dream" at an early age, he is an extension of his strong Cuban heritage and attributes much of his fortune to his family. His parents would appear to be his biggest fans, but when you hear the joy in his son's voice when he talks about his "Papi", you begin to understand that Orlando's success cannot be measured.

In high school, Orlando knew he was meant for work behind a camera and while others told him he would never "make it", he, in just eight years, has managed to prove his adversaries wrong. Orlando believes that the key to a great shot, is through a slow, steady and very specific view. With the assistance of stylists, make up artists and a great team, he captures the stunning shot his client desires. "The first time I picked up a camera I knew this is what I wanted to do. Since then I've studied and practiced with only one goal in mind - to capture not only the outer beauty of my subject, but also their inner self. My goal is simple...to make you look your best. Taking pictures is more than focus and shoot. It takes an eye for it. It takes a "feel" for it. It takes a passion for it. That's the art of photography." Whether it is fashion, glamour, or a product, a shoot is not over until that "it" shot has been taken. But no one minds time when Orlando shoots.

His personality was meant for customer service, but when you combine that with his visual mind, you get images that are creatively unique and a shoot that leaves you doubled over in laughter.
