About your photography coach
I’m Cristian Tello, a Boston-based photographer passionate about helping people connect with the art of photography—no matter where they’re starting from. Whether you just picked up a camera or you’re looking to sharpen your creative voice, I work with photographers who want to grow both technically and creatively. My coaching is built around seeing with intention, staying curious, and learning to tell stories through your lens. It’s not just about gear or settings—it’s about slowing down, observing more, and building a skill that stays with you for life. If you’re a beginner with an interest, you’re in the right place.
