“Everyone knows me as Augusto and I’m very passionate about my craft. I also enjoy travelling and reading when I’m not getting lost in sci-fi movies. My brand started off as a hobby to pass time but grew and got attention through the entertainment industry, which is what I’m mostly known for now that I also do urban, street, fashion, portrait and corporate photography.”
