Meet Randy Pantoja of San diego

Today we’d like to introduce you to Randy Pantoja.

Hi Randy , so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Picked up a camera 4 years back. Started taking pics for family. Then started branching out to the streets at events. I would offer photos, get their social media, and send them the edited pics.

After a while, started to get called for paid shoots. That turned into learning video. That also turned into editing videos. And it was a wrap!

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Definitely tough. Being a photographer. A videographer and an editor has Definitely weighed on me. Not only that, doing my sales, marketing, negotiations has been kaos at times.

As of now, im learning to delegate. And still learning the process

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
1. What sets me apart is I have a strong background in sales, so getting business, and talking to people has become a norm for me. Theres more skilled photographers, videographers, and editors than me, but I can do all 3 and grab my own business.

2. What im proud of is i learned this trade without 3-4 years.

3. I specialize in weddings and quiencenaras. But I do music videos, branding and more. Ive been able to work with J Holiday. Jon B. Ice Cube, Kevin Herrera and more

What does success mean to you?
Family. Just Family. Because even if you do what you love. It’s still hard work. But theres nothing like Family

Pricing:

  • Weddings can be from $1500-$6000
  • Photos shoots $250-$350
  • Quinceanera $1500-$3000
  • Branding just depends
