Greetings! Welcome to my page. Renaldo is a professional photographer, cinematographer, filmmaker, and DJ from Eastern, North Carolina. Renowned for his vivid colors and gritty Hip-Hop images, Renaldo captures the essence of the rap and the rock world with unparalleled authenticity.
His journey began in 1998 when his mother gifted him his first camera, sparking a lifelong passion for photography and music. Renaldo’s love for Hip-Hop is evident in every shot, whether working as a radio DJ on Inspir3 Radio and Rhythm 105.9 FM, or collaborating with recording artists, DJs, and music producers.
In 2005, Renaldo took his craft to the next level by diving into formal photographic education at a local photo studio, guided by a seasoned mentor Mitchell. Since then, he’s honed post-production, editing, photography, graphic design, lighting, and filmmaking. With 19 years of experience, Renaldo specializes in glamour, fashion boudoir, and nude photography. He is always eager to network with creative models, stylists, and fellow photographers.
As a filmmaker, Renaldo has directed and filmed music videos for a host of talents, including Meta-Phizz, Black Knooze, X25 Fitness, Dream Angel Magazine, J. Stone, Tee Malinaaa, DeAmor Carolina, and Fashion GDX Magazine.
Renaldo's story took a sad turn on April 25, 2021, when he woke up disabled and unable to walk due to cancer and a spinal cord injury. Despite these challenges, after ten radiation treatments, he is courageously undergoing chemotherapy and relearning how to walk, often using a walker or wheelchair during his photoshoots.
Renaldo is dedicated to helping models get published, interviewed on podcasts, and more. His journey is a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of passion.
“You can be a victim of cancer or a survivor of cancer. It's a mindset.” — Dave Pelzer
