About SHOTZ

I’ve been creating since 2019 at the age of 12 I officially got my rebel T6 and haven't put it down since. (besides when I finally was able to upgrade)

The interest came from an episode from The Fosters

However, the passion, my gift, and my purpose came from the Lords house. Back in 2019 my mom, sister and I starting attending FreedomHouseOC in Fullerton which is where I met my incredible mentor, friend, and photo mama Elizabeth Ayon (IVESEENMEDIA) where she took me under her wing, taught me everything I know after both moving to the Costa Mesa (now Irvine) location to build Gods house.

Fast-forward 6 years later, creating is everything I do. In High school I was Sam Torres the photographer… I did photo for sports then started doing 30s edits (people loved them). Got the opportunity to film and create my sports media videos and other school promo for our rallies and events. My senior year I got my biggest project as a videographer and created my first short film for the program Every 15 Minutes, given this creative freedom, I created the storyline while also filming and editing on my own.

In between my 4 years of high school, I captured weddings, sweet 16s, couples, families, seniors and events. Building my connections with my amazing clients and other creators I got to work with.

As I step in the next 4 year of my life, I will be attending Fullerton JC before transferring to a 4 year Cal State or UC to get my business and marketing degree, while also building my clientele in brands and individuals looking to create.
