Pito
Videographer
I’ve been a B-boy for nearly two decades now and a photographer/videographer for over a decade. What started as dancing at church outreach events in middle school turned into a lifestyle by high school—skipping lunch to train, quitting sports, and diving fully into breaking. I never imagined I’d one day be behind a camera capturing it all, but it’s a blessing to do what I do. Whether I’m teaching dance or documenting the next event, connecting movement, moments, and meaning is my passion.
