About
- I am JJ Casas, a San Francisco based photographer utilizing images as a brand narrative for individuals and companies.
I'm a brand photographer based in San
Francisco living minutes away in South San Francisco (Originally from Daly City!). I'm also the Co-Founder of
MotionScope Studies, a wedding and event photo/video development company and Photo Editor for Hyphen magazine.
I am a proud Wildcat of St. Ignatius College Preparatory ('05) and Don of University of San Francisco, BSN ('10).
When not photographing, you can find me: reading from my endless blog feed, magazine subscriptions, or non-fiction titles, drinking coffee from my French press, or studying my favorite artist Frida Kahlo.

Awesome.

I would never mind shooting at San Francisco’s usually requested Legion of Honor as long as I get results like this.
