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.

Allan
I was pretty new to photography when I started learning with Cris, and he made everything feel way less overwhelming. He explains stuff in a way that just makes sense, and it never felt too technical or stiff. Every time we shot, I picked up something new and honestly, it got me way more excited to keep going with it.
Ruby
I had been shooting for a while but felt like I hit a wall. Cristian helped me tighten up my workflow, shoot with more intention, and really refine my style. His critiques are honest but motivating, and the way he explains things just clicks. I’ve grown more in a few weeks than I did in the last year on my own.
Maya
I had the basics down but felt stuck in a creative rut. Cristian helped me see beyond the technical side and pushed me to shoot with more purpose. His feedback is honest, encouraging, and actually helps you grow. My shots feel way more intentional now and I’m finally building a style I’m proud of!
Alyssa
I used to just shoot on auto and hope for the best, but Tello helped me understand what I was actually doing. He explains things in a way that clicks, and never makes you feel dumb for asking questions. I’ve learned so much and actually feel like a photographer now.
Lex
I was super new to photography and had no clue what I was doing. Cristian made it easy to get into and he keeps it laid-back and explains stuff in a way that actually makes sense. After a few sessions, I started seeing things differently and got way more into it
Kayla
I’ve always loved taking photos but never really knew what I was doing. Learning with Cris felt like learning from a friend super chill, no pressure, just real help. I’ve started noticing light, framing, and all the little things I used to miss.
