The Artist
Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Jose A. Palafox grew up surrounded by the energy, culture, and visual richness of one of the world's most iconic cities. That environment sparked an obsession with image-making that would define his career.
Based in the heart of LA's creative scene, Jose built his reputation shooting in the fashion and model industry — working with brands, designers, and talent on editorial and commercial campaigns. His work caught national attention when he collaborated with Jaylen Baron, star of Shameless, producing a series of images that helped solidify his name in the industry.
His editorial work earned him features in two of the most respected publications in the country — Essence Magazine and the LA Times — a testament to the quality and vision he brings to every shoot.
Jose has since relocated to Tucson, Arizona, where he is now based and actively shooting portraits, families, fashion, and lifestyle sessions. He is available for major events and productions outside of Arizona by booking inquiry.
