Yo, my name is Michael Quintero and I’m a Multimedia Journalist graduate from California State Fullerton University with a Bachelor’s degree in Communications emphasis in Journalism, along with a certificate in Photo Communications . My background is in street photography and graphic design. I’ve come on as a writer in the last five years covering stories with musicians and producers from the LA and OC music scene.I started taking photography seriously in 2013, taking on Larry Clark and Richard Avedon’s style of photography of skateboarding and the party scene where I live. School or a career in Journalism never popped into my head as until I started noticing the cutting edge side of journalism such as Hunter S. Thompson or Lester Bangs.This slowly led me in the direction of getting into the magazine industry with influences from Big Brother magazine and Monster Children. I’ve always been drawn to breaking the rules and creating original content and straying away from the mainstream. This doesn’t mean all mainstream media is basic, but I choose to think outside the box when it comes to Journalism.I’m currently the Photo Director for Trendy Golf USA and a designer for The LAnd magazine. During my college career I served as the Managing Editor and Creative Director for Tusk Magazine and the Program and Music Director at Titan Radio. I have previously served as Managing Editor and Photo Editor with the Clarion newspaper at Citrus College. Also well as the founder of Basement Magazine published by Titan Radio.
