Today we’d like to introduce you to Rosa Caballero.
Hi Rosa, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today.
As a little girl, I still remember coming home from school to watch MTV. All these musical pictures coming together to create a little movie. I found it amazing. I was in love. Watching movies, TV shows, and even commercials. I was so intrigued. How was it made? How did they do that? Simply astonished, and at that moment, I knew I wanted to be a part of that world. I wanted to be hands-on and in that environment. As I got older, the closest things to that environment was theatre arts and drama club. I was in everything that I could be in that had to do with being creative. I was in plays and improve. I loved the behind-the-scenes, the directing, the set setting, and the chaos. I loved to express myself and get lost in a new world each time. I remember it felt like a high, such a rush every time we had a performance no matter how big or small. After high school, I went to college for film and video production to follow my dreams. I shortly got pregnant and dropped out and got welcomed to my 9-5 life. A mom, a cooperate career, and following the typical system sociality had for people like me. Go to work, pay bills, pay mortgage, pay taxes, and do it all over again day after day. Even though I was so blessed to meet amazing people through my work. I felt empty inside, with my spark dying down. Once covid hit, I picked up a camera during quarantine and haven’t put it down since. I remember something I had forgot about. That rush and enjoyment. I feel so right and at home when shooting. Shortly after, I got into the wedding scene. I love shooting weddings since I’m a hopeless romantic and love love. I blame all the novelas I watch growing up. I shoot everything and anything. I just love being creative and capturing the moments to be cherish a lifetime.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I do both photography and videography. I mostly shoot events, weddings, and 15ners. I have done over 100 weddings. Within a year of shooting, I got into the wedding industry. I have done product shooting and content shooting for big names such as Gomez Western Gear and Regal Furniture. I worked with upcoming artist and creatives. My favorite project so far was with Peach Online during a Valentine’s campaign. Working with the amazing model Jailane. She was a natural with the camera and talented. I also flew out to New York to shoot a sizzler for a potential show, waiting to get picked up by a popular network. Everything is still in the works, so I can’t say more about that. Regardless, I have been so blessed and my journey in growing as a creative. Transitions have been a challenge and risk from changing to area of photography to another. Each area of photography is its own world, but I love learning and trying new things. I want to touch base on it all.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar, what can you tell them about what you do?
Weddings and 15ners is what I love to shoot the most. I love the romance world, I’m a hopeless romantic and love being a part of people’s special day. I love traditions and beauty of 15ners. To capture people’s special moments while they are the main character for the day is very rewarding. I love making people feel good about themselves.
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Meeting people in your industry will teach you a lot of do’s and don’ts. I think it’s important to network that way we can grow and elevate to the next level. I am a people person and just love meeting people, but you can elevate on your own more power to you! For me, I just love meeting new people. lol
