Twenty years photographing the Monterey Peninsula for the brands that call it home.

Medium-format commercial photography for architects, builders, restaurants, and resorts — from Pebble Beach fairways to Big Sur ridgelines, shot on the Fujifilm GFX 100 II and printed in-house up to 64 inches.

The Work

Every frame captioned the way it was shot.

Six disciplines, one standard: images built to hold up on a billboard, a menu, or a gallery wall.

Shot on medium format. Printed in-house.

Most photographers hand your files to a lab and hope. Here, the same eye that composes the frame runs the printer — 102-megapixel GFX captures finished on a 64-inch Epson, as archival giclée, canvas gallery wraps, aluminum, or acrylic. One studio, zero handoffs, from shutter to wall.

Manny Espinoza, Carmel-by-the-Sea commercial photographer

Three decades on the Peninsula. Two hundred companies. One standard.

I'm Manny Espinoza — a fine-art-trained commercial photographer working out of Carmel-by-the-Sea. My clients range from neighborhood restaurants and custom home builders to Adobe, Apple, and McLaren, and my work appears across the Monterey Peninsula in print, on menus, and on gallery walls.

As Creative Director and Photographer for 65º Magazine, I spend as much time thinking about how images live on a page as how they're made in camera — which is exactly what your brand's photography deserves.
