Specialties
Never contrived, definitely spontaneous and always fun: that’s the pictorial experience with Auey Santos, who provides the woman-power behind Photograffiti. Working out of the San Francisco Bay Area, Auey captures life’s beauty — in its most honest and true form — in her wedding and portrait photography. As the studio’s creative force, she oversees the artistic direction of photography and production, album design and product development.
Auey specializes in a new genre of portraiture called «Beloved» — described as experiential photography. Equal emphasis is placed on the relationship-building benefits of the portraiture experience as is on the artistic images that are created from the session.
History
Established in 2002.
Auey has slowly built a loyal clientelle whose word-of-mouth referrals kept the photography business flourishing since 2002. Auey moved and transplanted her photography business to the Bay Area in 2006, where it is slowly growing a base of happy and satisfied customers in the SF Bay area.
Auey understands the power of visuals, having worked in television and web content management before launching Photograffiti in 2002. Among her corporate clients are Coca-Cola, IW Group San Francisco, California Academy of Science and Lucille Packard’s Children Hospital at Stanford.
