Cinava Photography: California fashion photographers

The duo of creatives behind CiNava, Angel Cintron and Stephen Nava, have been prized for their highly produced editorial images that are creative, edgy, artistic, fresh, and often drawn from their own environment. Taking concept to final imagery that not only tells the story, but demands your attention, they collaborate beside incredible talents in their field to capture the true interpretation of unique vision and to inspire their message. 

CiNava specialises in capturing fashion, editorial and celebrities in high-end print fashion magazines and webitorials; they stretch their limits and incorporate new ideas. By exploring the sexy, raw, and edgy side of fashion they generalise their conceptual connotation of the theme.

CiNava is compelled to translate their own true feelings while behind the camera. Both from the Mid-West, they bring their own creative vision and deep understanding of today’s fashion.

Scott G Toepfer: San Francisco Commercial Directors & Photographers

"My path towards being a creative professional started as I abandoned my career in microbiology to pursue still photography full time in 2007.

Still photography led me to cinematography, and then to directing commercials and branded content. I’ve never looked back, and have been able to travel the world with crews that become as close as family, shooting campaigns and commercials for some incredible clients.

I take a narrative approach towards almost every shoot by finding the thread that pulls the images or the films together for the viewer.  I’ve worn a lot of hats over the last 15+ years and have enjoyed learning with new teams and collaborators throughout the process."
