About

Hi there! I'm Roque, a Video Producer and Photographer based in Durham, North Carolina. With a BFA in Film & Television, I possess a comprehensive skillset in media production encompassing directing, cinematography, editing and sound design.

As a filmmaker, I directed the feature-length documentary, DisemPOWERed: Puerto Rico's Perfect Storm. This work delves into the colonial underpinnings of Puerto Rico's energy and debt crises and has been featured at over two dozen universities nationwide.

More recently, I directed the short film, Like Going to a Hardware Store for Bread, which won Best Short Comedy at the City of Angels Women’s Film Festival 2023.

I have more than a decade of professional photography experience. In that time I've had the pleasure of photographing writers, artists, musicians, and other professionals. I specialize in environmental portraits and I generally work on location. I look for interesting settings and use a combination of natural and controlled lighting techniques to create subtly dramatic, eye-catching images. I’m also experienced at styling and photographing food. I have worked closely with, James Beard Award winning chef, Ilene Rosen. My images have appeared in publications by New York Magazine, Shape, PEN America, and The Center for Fiction.

Based in Durham, I offer professional video and photography services across the triangle area. Explore my site for more and let's collaborate. Thanks for stopping by!
