Photographer Jonathan Puente and Guest Host Ryan Parker with Xpleo Media
Jonathan Puente Photography is a commercial lifestyle photography brand, taking entrepreneurial experience, and applying it to specific photography content brands need. Currently their focus is on small to established businesses in interiors and real estate, eCommerce and other businesses that fall under the lifestyle umbrella (i.e. food, headshots, events).
Jonathan Puente has been shooting photography artistically since his teens, but professionally for over 10 years. Starting his first job at 14 sealing asphalt driveways for a co-owned business with his brothers, he expanded into his own small landscaping business while completing his Bachelors in Journalism from the University of Arizona.
After college his passion for photography took somewhat of a backseat while he pursued the typical corporate 9-5 jobs. However, taking experience and knowledge from renowned companies like Ritz Carlton and Charles Schwab, allowed him to apply business models around customer service to his own photography business.
