Through the Lens: Introduction

Hello.  My name is Curtis Valentino.  Yes, Valentino is part of my name, my middle name. My mother knew what she was doing when she named me.  I thank her for it.  It speaks to my creative and standout nature that I typically keep preserved and hidden. She always kept us mindful of and in tune with the arts and other things outside ourselves, from music, to being active, to thinking on deeper levels. It instilled and sparked the creative nature within me.

Welcome to my vlog “Through the Lens”.  It is the evolution of my previous one called “Views”.  Full transparency, this blogging thing can be a challenge in terms of staying consistent, but I look forward to seeing what this new iteration brings. This time around you're invited to a closer look. If you followed previous posts, you’ll see a different approach. I would love for you to subscribe, like and follow here and on Instagram. New photos, videos and overall experiences are on the way. After a long hiatus.

There are two things that inspired the new title and version. I’ve always wanted viewers to see my experience in sessions with my clients and secondly (more importantly) I’m proud and hyped to welcome and introduce my new team.  It consists of camera men and drone specialists with unique styles, class, hunger and a passion for the art. 

We have some major things planned in 2025.  I don't want to give away too much too soon, but please share, like, follow and subscribe (here and on Instagram).  We have lots of great content on the way that you don't want to miss.  This will be a Spring and Summer to remember for Images By Valentino and our crew!
