About
Riley Soriano
Riley Soriano is a Bay Area visual operator working across campaign photography, ENG-style video, lighting design, and lighting programming for commercial production, events, conventions, and creative teams.
@livingwith_rileyA lot of my work starts from lighting: how people, products, architecture, and events hold energy on camera. That background shapes how I approach stills, video, and production support: fast, practical, visually aware, and ready to fit into a larger crew.
Campaign visual support
Photography for events, architecture, small business campaigns, production documentation, and editorial-leaning brand work. ENG-style video coverage is being built into the same production support path.

I also build small software, archive, portfolio, and storefront systems for creative projects. The through-line is structure: making the work easier to organize, present, sell, and return to.
