Luigi Ventura a first generation born-and-bred Angeleno, a photographer and a filmmaker. He holds native perspectives of a brown-skinned U.S. citizen. What he has witnessed recently is a vast mix of people taking to the streets of Los Angeles ⏤a markedly diverse and inclusive crowd: young families with strollers, high school students, Gen Z youth, octogenarians, young women and members of the LGBTQIA + community, all showing up in record numbers, all taking seriously the power of using one’s voice. As a photographer, he gains inspiration from the people who show up; their energy brings him hope for a present and future in which generations of people come together to make the world a better place. Through the elements of photojournalism and filmmaking, my goal is to bring attention to and amplify the voices of those who are not being heard. He has worked on more than 20 made-for-television series and more than 50 films and videos, including: The Good Place (2018); Destroyer (2018); Oprah’s Master Class (2018); VEEP (2017); and Santa Clarita Diet (2017).
