Chris Corona
producer
I developed my love for visual storytelling at a very young age in my hometown of San Diego CA by capturing my friends and our various adventures with my mom's old Canon AE 35mm camera (thanks mom!). This continued through high school where I was lucky to have access to a dark room to sharpen my technical skills and expand my photography as a creative endeavor. Once I graduated from the University of Texas with a piece of paper declaring I was a filmmaker, I worked myself up to a dream position working for film director Robert Rodriguez at his studios in Austin TX in the publishing and marketing department. I was tasked to shoot on-set stills and video content, behind the scenes imagery, and many other photo assets for use in Robert’s films and their marketing. After working on five productions in 4 years, I went freelance to concept, shoot, and produce content for clients such as Mercedes-Benz, General Mills, Samsung, and Duluth Trading Company; as well as coordinating and producing stills shoots in the food landscape for brands such as Whole Foods, Impossible, Bon Appetit, and Organic Valley.
I’m very fortunate to be able to collaborate with so many great brands and agencies to help maximize the efficiency of their content output, which is an ever-increasing need in the industry today. With more than a decade of on-set experience, I continue to be fanatical about capturing beautiful imagery assets that engage across the spectrum of marketing outlets.
