About Me
Hello!
My name is Adrian Beltran. I was born and raised in Inglewood, California, where I’ve always been surrounded by a diverse and creative environment that inspires everything I do. I have a deep passion for photography, video, and design—fields that allow me to blend my love for storytelling and aesthetics.
I fell in love with photography because of my family’s old photos. My parents used to take a lot of pictures on disposable cameras, and nothing can beat that vintage look. Going through their archive gave me a glimpse into the life my parents had before I was born. I hope that one day my kids will look at my old photos and feel inspired to live their lives to the fullest. In a way, that’s what photography is—capturing a moment in time.
My grandpa was always recording family events, and sometimes he would let me film. It was so fun to capture everyone being themselves and enjoying the moment together. When I got older, he gave me a Panasonic VHS camcorder. I had so much fun running around Los Angeles, capturing as much random footage as I could. This eventually landed me my first filming job with a small clothing company.
My love for design was born out of a need to express myself. During COVID, when everything was shut down, I couldn’t go outside to film or take photos. It felt like I was a genie trapped in a bottle. However, I didn’t let that stop me. I used this time to become fluent in Adobe Studio, and along the way, I created a clothing brand. While COVID was a challenging time for the world, it gave me some of the best moments of my life. I learned so much about myself and how I want to express myself artistically.
While I love video, photography, and design, what I love even more are the friends and memories I’ve made along the way of pursuing these passions. From late nights working on projects to random adventures in the city with my friends, it’s the people I’ve shared these moments with that truly make it all worthwhile. Those connections remind me that creativity isn’t just about the art or result—it’s about the experiences and relationships that come with it. Lets face it whats the point of living if you cant share the memories with the people you love.
