"Chicago Reflection"
House Music DJ / Producer
It's a perfect representation of the city that's made me who I am today. Chicago has been showing me so much love since the mid 1980's and it will always be my home. I'm a true DJ, Producer and Artist that grew up in the streets of Little Village to the streets around the world. I'm humbled by the love and support that I receive from good people everywhere I go. Thanks to my good friend Jose Angel for the Art piece it has a special place in my Recording studio to remind me where I came from.

"Chicago At Night"
I specialize in home and building renovations, remodeling and designing these are some of my passions in life. So it only made sense that when my long time friend Jose Angel personally delivered to me my 20x30 of "Chicago At Night" it only made sense that I was going to find a special place for it in my newly remodeled home. Thank you I really love my Art piece!

"Chicago Equalizer"
I love coaching, mentoring and doing what's right for people and my community. I consider myself an advocate who is willing to speak up against injustice. On my free time I enjoy going out for long walks with my family and loved ones. The "Chicago Equalizer" picture sits above my desk as a constant reminder of where I came from and my love for House Music and our beautiful Chicago buildings and architecture. Thanks for the awesome artwork I appreciate it.

Jose Angel is a world-renowned international award winning published documentary photographer, director and cinematographer based between the U.S & Mexico. Jose Angel has a very heavy presence with his work in Mexico and he spends a lot of time in between Mexico City, Queretaro, Guanajuato and his main HUB San Miguel de Allende. These locations and spaces help him get inspired and creative with his work, this plays a huge part of his creative process. What started out as a simple idea to pick up a camera in 1997 became his biggest passion leading up into 2022 and hasn’t looked back since. Born from immigrant parents made him appreciate so much more his passion for his Mexican heritage and culture and he put’s his mark on every piece of his work or project. Growing up in the rough streets of Chicago and being surrounded by drugs, gangs and violence in his neighborhood wasn't the easiest or the best lifestyle for him as a kid, he lost a few close friends along the way due to gangs and violence in Chicago. Having family members and friends that had ties to gangs made him realize quickly that he needed to choose a different path for his future. That’s when he decided to pick up a camera and the rest was history, Angel has a specific approach and a very distinctive style and technique for every project. What seems different and odd to others he sees it as an opportunity to produce something different and further allows him to experiment with a wider spectrum and see the bigger picture with his creative process. His visual creative process starts with a simple idea and a very simple yet complex creative treatment or script for every one of his hand selected projects. Jose Angel pays a lot of attention to detail from textures, colors, shades, sounds, lighting, shadows, shapes and full framing, he likes a busy frame. Jose Angel is known for his staggering and countless long takes, long shots, composition and framing.
