Kevin Tafoya
Born and raised in El Paso, Texas. Currently based in the Bay Area. Below are some examples of visuals I’ve made. I am self-taught and always looking for the next opportunity to teach myself something new through creating. I crave to push the boundaries of creating and I am motivated to create some amazing visuals with you!
Documenting Life
Some call it street photography some call it Documenting but I’m not really sure how to categorize it. I just wanted to learn how cameras work and work on composing good shots. The easiest way to do that was by going on as many photo walks as I could. Here are some of my favorite captures from those photo walks.
Portraits of Strangers
Portraits of Strangers is a series that I started as a way to push me to take more street portraits BUT the one rule that I incorporated was that I had to ask for the portrait! This was a cool way that pushed me to interact with the streets while I was out documenting the world around me! This mean’t headphones out and becoming one with my environment often times this lead to some really fun stories from the subject of the photo that I will never forget!
Portraits
From paid shoots like Graduation photos, Influencer photos to personal work of experimental photos!

Analogue Travels
Analogue Travels is a brand that my friend and very talented Photographer/Filmmaker Arturo Contreras created. This is a BTS video of a Photoshoot that he did.
Was Learning how to develop Black and White 35mm film plus I had just got a new gimbal so why not make a video about it?
Challenged by myself to make a TimeLapse everyday for a week. The top was my favorite the second is my best iteration of experimentation. After I made all the TimeLapses he challenged me to make it abstract.
Bored during the Pandemic, I had saw an Adidas ad that had this cool effect so I recreated it. My Ball is life mixtape is coming soon.
