My name is pronounced Pahn-uh-yo-tuh, but I also go by "P.” I am 24 years old, and I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I grew up surrounded by two things: sports and music. 

I discovered photography while attending college at the University of Oregon. I fell in love with freezing the moments that people have worked and waited their entire lives for — cementing milliseconds in time that many can enjoy for years to come.

When I started taking photos as a student intern for the football team at Oregon in 2019, combining my childhood love for sports with my newfound love for photography felt like something I was always meant to do. I have been pursuing the sports and entertainment industry through a lens ever since. In just three years, I have traveled to do some freelance work in once-in-a-lifetime cities, shot for professional sports teams in my very own hometown, and even received IMDb credit for working on a movie. 

I have spent the last two seasons as an assistant photographer for the San Francisco 49ers and the San Jose Sharks. Currently, I am serving a photography internship with the San Francisco Giants. I hope to make a full-time career as a sports and entertainment photographer very soon.
