Background

About Omar Sanchez

My images are fundamentally built on photo composition, patience, and creativity by capturing moments as they are developing. I only use my time in post-production to enhance the image in terms of lighting and color correction. I’ve produced single still images & photo essays for assignments that range from wildfires and crime scenes to political demonstrations and events in entertainment, as well as NCAA Division 1 sports and Major League Baseball coverage. The only time I would ever coordinate a photograph(s) is when I’m shooting portraiture. I’ve worked alongside the Voice of Orange County, Daily Titan, Segerstrom Center for the Arts, a number of programs for Winter Guard International (WGI) World & Open Class percussion ensembles, and my work has been recognized by the Orange County Press Club and California News Publishers Association. I’ve also spent some time as a sports editor responsible for revising & polishing articles related to Cal State Fullerton athletics and regional professional sports. Through that experience I’ve gained further knowledge of fact-checking, section-editing, grammar, AP style, captions & headline writing, and search engine optimization. My focus is more in the documentary/editorial industry but I also love photographing Arts & Culture in my community as well as live music, sports, and parts of México whenever I'm across the border. I’m also available for freelance assignments anywhere in California and beyond with the ability to deliver work on location and on deadline.
