BODA is a dynamic photographer and videographer whose creative journey has evolved from casual passion to professional excellence. Before a transformative family trip to Hawaii in January 2017, he had little idea of where his future was headed. However, after creating a one-minute video capturing his experiences—swimming with dolphins, ziplining, and exploring the island’s natural beauty—his mother immediately saw his potential and encouraged him to pursue a career in visual storytelling.

In 2017, his mother gifted him his first camera for a school trip to Europe, but after shooting the trip, the camera was shelved for nearly two and a half years as his interests shifted. In March 2020, during quarantine and after working his second construction job post-high school, he rediscovered his love for photography. He started doing photoshoots with friends, quickly falling back in love with the creative process. In November 2020, he launched an Instagram page dedicated to photo and video, and from 2020 to 2022, he worked with models, brands, and artists, constantly pushing his boundaries as a creator.

In 2023, bODA made a bold move into the EDM industry, a new chapter that would fuel his growth in ways he hadn't imagined. His first festival experience, Day Trip Festival, in 2022, ignited his passion for live music photography. By 2024, he was hired by Insomniac’s Los Angeles club division, where he had the opportunity to work with high-profile artists such as Green Velvet, Deorro, J Worra, Cloonee, and Sosa. This experience opened doors to more personal collaborations with artists, enhancing his portfolio with high-energy festival and event shoots across the Southern California area.
