Bio
Ernesto Guadalupe is a New York City native, with years of experience behind the lens. A self-proclaimed tech addict and camera junkie, Ernesto’s penchant for lenses, laptops, hard drives, digital video, motion graphics, photography, writing & design has driven him to a life-long commitment to digital artistry. During his tenure as a student at Syracuse University, Ernesto garnered an interest in cinematic pre and post-production. After completing the necessary requirements for a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2005, with a major in Film, Ernesto made the transition from internships, to employment at several Fortune 500 companies, to network broadcast experience as both a skilled editor & director of photography. After bringing his talents back home to New York City in 2006, Ernesto made pit stops at brands/creative groups like MTV, NBC, Complex and innovative luxury retailers like Net-A-Porter, Ralph Lauren & Apple. Although his career has allowed him to thrive against all odds in varying fields of interest (particularly fashion, branded content, and news/documentary), at his core he is a classically trained artist focused on putting out his best creative foot forward. On top of working towards always elevating his skills, he is a fervent advocate of workers rights as a member of NY News Guild, as well as mentorship for younger professionals of color in the creative arts. When not crafting scripts, changing lenses, extracting hard drives, installing RAM, drafting treatments, manipulating the moving image, organizing bins & timelines, color grading, or pondering his next creative endeavor...he’s watching the New York Knickerbockers. As horrifying it may sound to be both artist & die-hard Knicks fan, it’s just a testament to his familiarity with adversity & what triumph through hard work truly means.
