“Having a vision and making it a reality is an intangible skill that photography has taught me that applies to all things in life.”

My name is Armando Cepeda. I recently graduated from California State University - Los Angeles with a B.A. in English. I am Half-Filipino and Half-Mexican. I have 8 years of experience with photography. I’ve grown up as an avid fan of anime, manga, movies, gaming, and all things pop culture. I’m a huge fan of metal music, hip-hop, 90's-2000’s indie rock music, as well as KPOP and JPOP. To some extent, photography has been a way to make all these ideas find a way into reality. All of these mediums have contributed to my creative release as a photographer. I take inspiration from the media that I consume and work with my clients to create a synergistic and ultimately collaborative product.
