Thank you!
ABOUT ME
My name is Dom Cacho Jr.
I was born on March 23 1997 in Cleveland, Ohio.
I started making videos very young, creating fun little photos and videos of my friends and family back in 2015. In 2016 I bought Video editing Software (Sony Vegas) to edit phone footage from when my family and I went to visit the Philippines. It was then I noticed I loved editing videos.
In 2017 I really started getting into Video. I first bought a Go-Pro, then a Drone, and later my first Digital Camera. I didn't yet plan to do anything big with my new gear, I just really liked making videos. I started to fall in love with photos and the post-production process of photo editing. For some reason, I really liked being in front of the camera but editing the photos myself so I would have my friends take my photos.
The next few years I would be doing the same thing, taking photos, having my photos taken of me, shooting videos, editing travel videos, edit yearly recaps. At the same time, I decided to pursue a degree in Film at Cleveland State University.
In late 2019 I upgraded to a Sony a7III. I decided I wanted to pursue photography and videography as more than just a hobby. I started to offer my services to the public (99% of the time it was for free) and stepped away from being in front of the camera. I started falling in love with taking photos of landscapes and architecture.
In mid-2021 I started a creatives business with a friend of mine, Louis Ng, and started to put ourselves out there. I was also still pursuing a Film Degree at CSU. While at CSU I got an internship in Marketing, specifically creating content for their Social Media.
In 2022 my friend that modeled for me a lot got a gig with a Local clothing brand, ILTHY. I asked tagged a long and met one of the owners there. I didn't even take photos, I was just really keen on learning the process of a professional photoshoot.
After that shoot, one of the owners of ILTHY, Kumar Arora offered me a job to shoot content for them part-time. At the end of 2022, I was offered a full-time position with them. and the rest is history.
Now I do this full time lol.
