Kyle Apodaca

DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY

My name is Kyle Apodaca! I’m a freelance camera operator & DP based in New Jersey known for a visual style that is moody, contrasty, and deeply alive. I come from a videography background, having spent years refining my craft as a full-time videographer and editor.

I’ve since transitioned into the freelance world and launched my own production entity, DACA Media. Today, I thrive in the video production space, collaborating with top-tier production companies across Philadelphia and New Jersey. I truly enjoy the work I do and I’m grateful to create alongside talented and generous people!

Dream Bigger

Description

Dreams exist on different scales—some quiet, some impossible to ignore. But at what cost? Is the pursuit worth it? At what point does a dream stop feeling like a dream and become something impractical? And who decides that dreams must be sustainable or quiet to be worth following? Is it possible to chase them while still living a life of comfort?
