I’m Cristian Tello, a Boston-based photographer passionate about helping people connect with the art of photography—no matter where they’re starting from. Whether you just picked up a camera or you’re looking to sharpen your creative voice, I work with photographers who want to grow both technically and creatively. My coaching is built around seeing with intention, staying curious, and learning to tell stories through your lens. It’s not just about gear or settings—it’s about slowing down, observing more, and building a skill that stays with you for life. If you’re a beginner with an interest, you’re in the right place.

"I had been shooting for a while but felt like I hit a wall. Cristian helped me tighten up my workflow, shoot with more intention, and really refine my style. His critiques are honest but motivating, and the way he explains things just clicks. I’ve grown more in a few weeks than I did in the last year on my own.

Hi! My name is Jett McCullough! I am a junior midfielder at Emerson College with over 13 years of lacrosse experience. I foster player development by emphasizing fundamentals, strategy, and a deep love for the game. I am committed to cultivating skills and building confidence both on and off the field. Let's elevate your game together!

"Parent review: Our experience with Jett was that of a coach and as a player. A good coach is a communicator and motivator, and is empathetic and holds players accountable. Jett was all of those with our son. He picked our player up when things were not going his way, put him in situations to contribute and to succeed, and celebrated him when it all came together. Our son looked up to and trusted Jett. It led him to perform well on and off the field, in areas where he doubted he could. And last but not least, Jett is a good human and is adored by kids and adults! Natascha, parent.
