About Me
Diego Quinonez
All my life I have been fascinated with the outdoors and being immersed in the natural world. This has led me to pursue a life of going into nature whenever I can and capturing not just what my eyes see but what my imagination sees as well. I am based in Huntington Beach, California where I grew up around the ocean and take frequent road trips around the US photographing my favorite places. I take pleasure when I am many hours into a hike, climb, or late night of astrophotography that when it gets tiring the camera will always be there to never miss a shot. These are the moments where I push myself physically as well as creatively and some of my best work gets created. Coming from an athletic background I am an outdoor athlete and use this to my advantage, getting to the places where it requires an athlete to get to then turning into an artist to capture the adventure.
