Hi, I’m Alvin Rodriguez — a first-generation Mexican-American raised between the colorful streets of Mexico City and the heart of San José, California. I go by Al_Rod behind the lens, and I’m all about capturing real, honest moments through visual storytelling.
My love for photography started back when I was a kid, skateboarding with my friends and snapping photos just to freeze those fleeting moments in time. I’m completely self-taught, and over the years, I’ve turned that passion into a career. Since 2017, I’ve been lucky enough to be published in magazines and work with amazing companies and organizations, helping them capture their culture, energy, and memories.
At the end of the day, my goal is simple — to use my camera as a tool to help you hold onto the moments that matter most.
