Apple Podcast Interview: Jose Angel

PHOTOGRAPHER | DIRECTOR | CINEMATOGRAPHER

Welcome to Inspired by Cinema. Jose Angel, owner of Jose Angel Films © , Jose Angel Galeria © and founder of “Inspired by Cinema” is a world-renowned international award winning & published documentary photographer, director, cinematographer, film score composer and ASCAP Member based between the U.S & Mexico City and extending his brand as far as London, his filmmaking & directing style is far from normal. What started out as a simple idea to pick up a camera in 1997 became his biggest passion leading up into 2025 and closely reaching 3 decades of experience in the world of photography and telling stories behind the lens. Very early on in the game he understood that he would be going neck to neck with some of the best in the world and the complexity it was going to be for him to make a name for himself but that wasn’t going to stop him or discourage him because his goal was not to be the best, his goal was to make his mark with his work. As a brand ambassador & advocate, Jose Angel went on to collaborate with some of the biggest names and brands in the industry and hasn’t looked back ever since. Growing up in the rough streets of Chicago and being surrounded by drugs, gangs, shootings and violence in his neighborhood wasn't the easiest or the best lifestyle for him as a kid, he lost a few close friends along the way due to gangs, drugs, shootings and violence in Chicago. Having family members and friends that had ties to gangs made him realize quickly that he needed to choose a different path for his future and that’s when he picked up his first camera and that’s when his journey into photography & filmmaking started and found a way to tell stories one frame at a time and the rest was history………..Coming from a background in music, very early on in my high school teenage years into college I developed an interest to produce music and decided to collect records and DJ and party with a bunch of friends that would go on and DJ & Produce huge international hits globally, that’s when my passion for music started and I eventually wanted to create something for myself. Fast forward years later I would be picking up an interest in Photography & Filmmaking and the rest was history. As a Photographer, Director and Cinematographer I know that a film score plays a huge part in the creative process of a visual or moving scene, it sets the tone for the audience and makes them engage with the visual story that’s unfolding right before there eyes. Inspired by some of the greatest to do it like Hans Zimmer, that’s when I decided to make my mark as a film score composer in the world of cinema and build a music catalog in the world of Filmmaking, Cinema & Film scoring with these new releases.
