I’m a photographer specializing in events, concerts, and headshots based out of Washington, DC. I started out in 2009 after winning a camera through a Facebook contest, and it all quickly escalated from there.

My professional photography career got started through concert photography in DC. I love catching fleeting moments of musicians in the moment and sharing them with the world. I've been lucky enough to cover a diverse range of musicians like Dolly Parton, Joni Mitchell, Beck, Janelle Monae, and Arctic Monkeys, from large arenas and festivals (SXSW and Newport Folk Festival) to intimate shows in basements and living rooms.

Outside of concerts, I love documenting all of the places, people, and things that bring us all together in one place. I've shot events for PBS, Spotify, The Kennedy Center, The Washington Post, and Crooked Media among many others. My photos have also appeared in Rolling Stone Magazine, the Washington Post, Today.com, District Fray Magazine, and Broadway World. 

I’d love to take photos for you, your organization, brand, or band - if you need a photo, I’m more than ready to take a few. (Referrals are welcome too if you know anyone looking for a photog!) Hope to talk to you soon!

Customer Testimonials

“Mauricio took conference photos for our 2022 Leadership Summit event. He did an amazing job shooting individuals, group photos, professional headshots, and candids that really captured the heart of the event and our team. He was very responsive and easy to work with. Would highly recommend him for any conference photography in the DC area!”
