Me

about

Hello friends,

My name is Adrian Salvatore and I’m a freelance photographer and visual storyteller currently based out of Portland, Oregon.

Rooted in the belief that images have the power to inspire change, my work aims to bridge a growing gap in human connectivity by illuminating the common thread that ties us all together—love. The bulk of my images span from the West Coast of the United States to The Philippines, Thailand, China, and India. I utilize both film and digital in my practice—believing there continues to be a place for both mediums in the expansive field of photography.

Documentary photography and photojournalism seem to be in a phase of adaptation to the world of information saturation. So it goes that I’ve found the most powerful moments I capture do not necessarily acutely inform the viewer of a particular situation but rather translate feelings, emotions, or commonalities—all of which can help us become more compassionate beings.

Thank you for taking this journey with me—and never hesitate to reach out and say hello.

With love and gratitude,

AS
