My name is Marisa Pellegrino-Alaggio I’ve been working in media production for the past six years.

During my time in this industry, I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing many different roles that go into working with comedians, advertising agencies, musicians, actors, food content creators, and more.

I’m obsessed with movies and television, I consume probably hundreds of hours of media a week. I’m chronically online even though I hate to admit that, and I can devour a book in a day if it really moves me. I’ve always tried to surround myself with beautiful things and artistic people, and I look forward to any opportunity I get to flex my creative muscles, whether it be shooting and editing video, writing, drawing, painting, or cooking.

I’ve found that my favorite medium has been photography. I feel photography has always been a way for me to combine all my interests into one. I get to capture and tell stories, all while challenging myself to think of new and creative ways to do so. My main goal when taking pictures is to make each one feel like a love letter to the moment. Capturing the unposed and the unplanned is my preferred approach. I think that a photo is more memorable when it captures the true essence of the subject, whether it be people, places, provisions, or even pets.
