About Nate Torres

Hi, my name is Nate Torres, and Iā€™m a professional portrait photographer, content creator, and founder of Imaginated.com. Iā€™ve been building this photography educational website since 2021, but I have been photographing and writing for over 10 years now!

In the early days, I started writing photography articles to learn more about photography and to give myself a consistent reason to go out and take photos.

Tip:

They say that if you want to learn a new skill, writing and teaching about what youā€™ve learned can be helpful.

I took that advice to heart, and thatā€™s how Imaginated was eventually born!

Now that Iā€™m a professional photographer, I write to share insights Iā€™ve learned with other photographers while keeping my own photography knowledge sharp with the latest techniques and concepts.


Mission

My core mission is to break down the barriers of photography education, making it approachable and engaging for everyone. Whether youā€™re picking up a camera for the first time or youā€™re a seasoned professional, my goal is for Imaginated to be your go-to resource for clear, organized, and easy-to-follow photography learning.

When I was first learning photography 10+ years ago, photography blogs and resources existed, but the experience I had was not optimal.

I found the information was very scattered, it was written by authors who werenā€™t particularly credible and ā€œin the fieldā€ working with clients, and oftentimes was written in a way that was way too complex for beginners.

Solution to scattered information

To solve the issue of scattered information, I am committed to organizing our categories, pages, and posts in a way to act as a streamlined educational photography resource. This organization can help photographers learn about a certain photography topic from A to Z.

Solution to credibility

To solve the issue of credibility, I only write on particular topics or concepts after Iā€™ve had experience with them in a professional setting. I believe this firsthand experience allows me to bring a level of depth and insight to my writing that might not be available to authors who arenā€™t actively engaged in the field.

By doing this, I can share not just theoretical knowledge, but also practical insights and nuances that arise from real-world professional photography.

Solution to complexity

To solve the issue of complexity, Iā€™m a strong believer in the Feynman Technique, popularized by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. The Feynman Technique is based on the idea that if you canā€™t explain something in simple terms, then you donā€™t fully understand it yet.

With that being said, my goal with Imaginated is to be the #1 photography educational website that explains concepts in a simple yet in-depth way, understandable by beginner, amateur, and professional photographers alike.


Connect with me

I thrive on feedback and warmly invite you to share your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions via my contact page.

Join me on this journey, where every click of the shutter not only captures a moment but also signifies a step forward in your photography adventures.

Best,

Nate Torres
