CREATIVE BASED IN SACRAMENTO & BAY AREA, CA

About me

I'm Mark Medina I shoot photos and videos that feel cinematic but grounded. I care about real moments, natural energy, and visuals that look lived-in, not manufactured.

I keep shoots loose because that's when people stop performing and start existing. The work matters to me whether it's a brand campaign or a personal portrait, I show up the same way.

I've worked with Tony Nguyen Photography on promotional and educational content for Balanced Body, and collaborated with Sato Studios on projects for Toyota, NASCAR, RWB, and American Force Tires. Each project pushed me to balance storytelling with technical precision, and I'm proud of what we built together.

Outside of shooting, I'm usually running, playing flag football, or on a basketball court. Staying in motion keeps me sharp and helps me see things differently when I get back behind the camera.
