Welcome to Leonidas
Photo Studio
I'm Ignacio Leonidas — a documentary style photographer and videographer with a deep appreciation for storytelling. Influenced by my background as a film director and a photojournalist, I blend film and digital media to deliver a product that’s as unique as it is timeless.
Whether it’s composing striking portraiture, shooting candid photos among loved ones, or directing a full length film, my goal is to convey emotion through captivating images.
I’m a true believer that experience is the best teacher and in my 15 years of experimenting with media, I have carefully honed my professional style to offer a versatile and highly curated range of services.
I want my clients to feel unrestricted in terms of their ultimate vision and have developed the skills necessary to bring complex ideas to life.
As a photographer, I offer 35mm film, medium format film, Polaroid, and digital. I aim to tailor my work according to each client’s specific needs and I enjoy the process of learning what my clients envision.
As a filmmaker, I offer fine cinematography, using Super 8mm and 4K digital cameras to create a broad palette of memories and feelings. I specialize in layering nostalgia and modernity to create a visual narrative that reflects the essence of our human experience.
My work has been featured in film festivals and exhibits around the world. You can out find more about it at this link. I live in New York City with my wife where we continue to draw inspiration from the city’s colorful images and inhabitants.
