Candid Creative Enduring

As a photographer with a background in filmmaking and advertising, I don’t just capture moments. I craft narratives.

From personal brand portraits to dynamic corporate storytelling and engaging event photography, I create images that feel authentic, natural, and deeply human. Whether you’re a CEO shaping your brand, a company telling its story, or a team celebrating a milestone, my work ensures you are seen, not just photographed.

Let’s create something that speaks volumes.

Valli B

Hi, I am Valli, a San Francisco Bay Area photographer. I stumbled into photography from the world of filmmaking, where I directed everything from snappy commercials to irreverent informative documentaries. My first feature doc, SunGanges, tackled water, energy, and climate in a way that ruffled feathers, bagged some shiny international awards, and landed on Netflix in 2019.

Now, I channel my, documentary-style spontaneity into personal brand photography, and it shows. Recipients say my shots feel like stories unfolding in real-time, capturing authentic, unscripted moments that highlight peoples' true spirit and energy. Perfect for building relatable and engaging brand stories.
