About

I'm Nate. I'm a photographer and co-founder of the [Arrived Creative Collective], based in Oakland, Ca.

Este Lugar combines my passion for both languages and photography. I spent my academic career studying Spanish & Portuguese. I was captivated by the way languages opened up worlds and brought people together. Este Lugar means This Place. It also represents my mission as a photographer — to capture what a specific place feels like; be it physical, emotional, or spiritual. Fake deep, I know... but it's true!

Check out my work :) If you like what you see, let's connect and create something together.

In my 9-5, I'm a Recruiting Manager in the tech industry.
