The Beginning

I’m Donny — a visual storyteller with a lifelong obsession for film, light, and the emotions hidden between the frames. As a kid, I was captivated by cinematography — how stories were told not just through dialogue, but through what was shown and what was left out. Though I may return to that world one day, photography found me first. It taught me that a single image can hold just as much power — to evoke awe, forge connection, and preserve fleeting beauty. This portfolio is the result of being in the right place at the right time, time and time again.

The Work

Alongside my personal work, I’ve also been building something more structured — a creative studio called Atomic Content LLC. What started as a way to help friends and collaborators with visuals and strategy has grown into a versatile content practice that blends photography, branding, and storytelling for professionals and small businesses.

Much of that work lives in a different lane — more strategic, more commercial — but still rooted in the same philosophy: creating visuals that connect. I’ve put together a small preview of some recent Atomic projects, which you can explore here. The full site for Atomic Content will launch in July 2025.

The Vision

“The traveler sees what he sees. The tourist sees what he has come to see.”
— G.K. Chesterton

This site is my living archive — an open journal of what I’ve seen and what I’ve felt, as my craft evolves and the world continues to unfold around me. It’s a collection of moments that, I hope, echo something real back to you: connection, wonder, you’re own memories.

It’s also a beginning. A platform for future releases, exclusive prints, collaborations, and long-form reflections. This isn’t just a portfolio — it’s an unfolding story. Thanks for being here. Stick around.
