Biography

Hello. My name is Kristian Portella, and I am a photographer and videographer in New York City. My journey towards photography and videography started as a fine artist. Together with my university studies in film production, film studies, and photography, I developed a love for photography and film. I went on to work as an official photographer and videographer for The Fire Department of The City of New York, as well as a videographer for Columbia University.

 

A camera is not only a tool for capturing images, but an instrument that

creates a work of art, captures a moment in time, tells a story, and provides memories. These are the things I strive to accomplish for myself and others. Therefore, I welcome an opportunity to provide my services to you, in New York City or elsewhere. You can contact me here, or email me at kjmportella@gmail.com. Thank you for visiting my website, and God bless!
