Hi there, I'm Sean Santos
I'M A PHOTOGRAPHER
based IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA
(he/him/siya)
I am an alumnus of San Francisco State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies and a minor in Asian American Studies.
I recently taught as a teacher for Pin@y Educational Partnerships where I taught Filipinx American studies in the San Francisco Unified School District.
I photograph a variety of subjects, specializing in event, portrait, and weddings.
My experiences as a student, educator, and creator are thanks to the communities that have given me the skills necessary to be a visual storyteller. Community is the reason why I have been able to stay on this creative path. I look forward to creating and preserving the importance of community with you.

Compressions of Time and Space
What's the Signifigance?
A picture is a pretty insane gift, it’s pretty common for photographers to talk about photography as just 'capturing the moment' or 'making memories'.
However, if we unpack and break it down to a metaphysical level, a photo is a literal compression of both time and space.
That’s what we do as photographers; beyond the shutter, the posing, the editing. We create moments in time that’s made physical for others to visualize and react to.
Photographs are the compressions of time and space made tangible.
