ABOUT ME
My name is Megan Juarez-Fontana. I grew up in the Bay Area, mainly around Oakland and Concord. I graduated from high school in 2009. It Was after high school when I found photography. I bought my first camera off of eBay, it was a Canon Eos Rebel XT. I have recently upgraded to a Canon Eos Rebel T5i. In June of 2021 I relocated to Phoenix, Az.
I'm a graduate of California State University, East Bay, formerly known as California State University, Hayward. I am majored in Digital Media Communications. This is where I found the right teachers to help me better my skills. I have found that I have a love for photojournalism. This is part of why I have created my latest project, Homeless of the Bay. I want to show people that the homeless deserve to be treated better and with respect. I want to show that they are people as well. I also love candid portraits, there is something magical about them. They are effortlessly perfect. I have also found a love for concert and band photography.
Music has always been a huge part of my life and to be able to capture these artists while they do what they love has been one of the best experiences of my life. I mainly photograph local bands at bars but it it just as fun as being at a full blown live show. What I love about these types of shows is that they are more intimate and personal so my photography takes on a different feel compared to photographs taken at bigger venues.
