My name's Rainer DeLalio. I'm a freelance photographer primarily focusing on Theater, BTS, and live music/events. I have however, shot an incredibly wide variety of things. From sword-fights, to music videos, I've covered it all, and I bring that expertise and diversity to every shoot. I always leave clients with two things; a great shooting experience, and even greater photos.
