ABOUT THE STUDIO

Taíno Studios is more than a visual production company. It’s a growing creative hub rooted in visual storytelling, community, and cultural intention. Located at the historic Bok Building in South Philadelphia, our studio is dedicated to producing high-quality photography and videography for entrepreneurs, creatives, and mission-driven organizations.

Our studio is a home for both client work and community impact. It’s a space designed for bold visual content, nonprofit collaboration, and creative resources.

Taíno Studios serves as:

  • A production space for portraits, brand visuals, interviews, and creative campaigns

  • A teaching space for workshops in photography, videography, and creative business operations

  • A resource hub offering rentable gear and studio space for photo, video, and digital storytelling

  • A platform for nonprofit and grassroots partnerships to create meaningful visual media

We also continue to work on location for clients across the city when needed. We bring professional equipment to every project to ensure a consistent, high-quality experience wherever we’re creating.

Taíno Studios is built to serve and grow alongside the creatives and changemakers we collaborate with. We’re excited for what’s ahead and look forward to creating with you.

ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Hola, I’m Christopher, founder of Taíno Studios and your creative collaborator.

For me, photography and production have never been just about the final image or event. They have always been about the process and the people. I believe the best work happens when you feel seen and supported, so I make it my mission to bring a sense of calm and clarity to every project. When you are with me, you can focus on your vision knowing the details are in caring hands.

Over the past 11 years, I have worked in many corners of the creative world. From producing heartfelt storytelling events with Dear World, to helping artists and brands create spaces that inspire connection, to leading operations at APT-122, where I built systems that opened doors for other creatives. Each experience taught me something important: the right space, the right energy, and the right support can unlock extraordinary ideas.

That is exactly why I created Taíno Studios. It is a welcoming hub in Philadelphia where artists, entrepreneurs, and mission-driven organizations can dream big and bring their visions to life. My photographic style is rooted in environment and authenticity. I love capturing people in the places that make them feel most alive because our surroundings say so much about who we are.

I have been lucky to work alongside incredible teams and clients who value collaboration, trust, and creativity. No matter the size of the project, my role is to listen deeply, guide with care, and create a space where your ideas can shine.

Outside the studio, you will find me exploring Philly and NYC’s creative scenes, sharing resources with fellow artists, and chasing good music and good conversations.

At the heart of it all, my philosophy is simple: when we create together, we grow together.
