Message from our owner

 

My name is Joseph Pillado and I am the owner of Restored Vision Media.

I often find myself looking out into the world and seeing a moment that could be a scene of a movie or at least a  photograph. This vision is what I strive to hone in all the work I do. Whether it is a photoshoot for a Linkedin profile, a music video shoot, or simply something interesting on the side of the road. There is a composition hiding in every moment, and I want to find them. Currently, I am studying photography at Arizona State University. Outside of school I run a local media business called Restored Vision Media. While I enjoy trying all forms of photography, I do find myself enjoying the candid work of street and event photography. Going forward I look to pursue more product photography and improve my studio experience.

FAQs

 

How did you get started with photography?

I started in photography like many other photographers...by looking at images. My father was an amateur photographer while in the military and took hundreds of photos while in and out of combat. I grew up secretly looking through his old photo albums while he was away. Little did I know that my curiosity for my father’s photography would spark my own venture into photography. I spent my entire savings on my first camera and it has been a consistent part of my life ever since.

Why Restored Vision Media?

Restored Vision is a sort of mission statement. I want to inspire through my work a restored vision of humanity…A renewed love of humanity. My desire to start a business stems from the realization that the world is saturated in art and media but few works that inspire others to go out into the world and share themselves. I hope that my small contributions may inspire some movement within just one soul.

How would you describe your style?

I started my desire to do art with painting and often I try to pull that inspiration into my photography. There is only light and shadow and it is the job of the photographer to tell a story with just that. I find myself pushing the boundaries of photography through digital augmentation and find great joy pulling inspiration from film. I want my work to look like you have just paused a movie. I want you to have a desire to press play again.
