Danny Fulgencio is a visual storyteller based on the rugged Oregon Coast. With more than 15 years of experience behind the camera and in the field, his work blends compassion, craft and curiosity across photojournalism, documentary film, commercial media and environmental storytelling.
Fulgencio has led creative teams, taught workshops and produced hundreds of projects for clients who believe in the power of authentic storytelling. He brings presence, professionalism and heart to every frame.
His guiding belief is simple: Good storytelling shows people themselves and, in doing so, helps us understand and appreciate one another a little more.
When he’s not shooting or editing, he’s likely surfing, hiking or chasing the day’s last light.
