Emmanuel Figaro
Hello! I'm a photographer and videographer based in Asheville, NC. I studied New Media and Photography at the University of North Carolina Asheville. My creative tools of choice are a camera and computer. I enjoy creating portraits of other people and filming videos that visually inspire others. Through my New Media degree I also found an appreciation for creating in the digital medium not just video, but also graphic design and motion graphics. I love to laugh and incorporate humor into many of my projects.
