Individual or Team Hands-on Business Training, Consulting, & Portfolio Reviews
Some people seem to learn best through visuals and hands-on experience, hearing a concept explained one way and then seeing it put into practice or comparing what they’ve learned with examples from real-world scenarios. Videos, tutorials, and book reading don’t always work for them, who require a more interactive training method to enhance their existing skills to the next level. I am passionate about photography education, video, and creative design. I truly want you to become a better photographer, cinematographer, and artist. That’s why I’ve started offering private lessons as a service.

My private creative lessons are personally tailored to you depending upon your needs and abilities with live question-and-answer sessions available during the lesson to have your skills honed quickly and before long feel confident about applying them in everyday situations.

Why In-Person Experience?

Before we begin, we will find a topic suitable to improve on your weakest areas while expanding upon some of your strongest skill sets. You don’t have to feel reluctant whether you’re a beginner or novice at photography, video, or design because everyone started from the same place. Portfolio Reviews are also available for people who want an expert’s criticism on their images, videos, and artwork.
  • After almost 2 decade working in the art industry and nearly 16 of those years building my own company, I’ve seen firsthand what works and what doesn’t. I will help you tell your story, create a brand that is authentic to you and your business, and then effectively market it so that the right people know who you are and what you do. Whether you want to polish up what you already have or create something brand new, let me make it happen!

Your Lead Instructor

My name is Martin Vo, I have breathed and lived the art of storytelling since I was accepted to the art academy at the age of four, the youngest artist at the time. I created stories through vibrant oil paintings on canvas with an artistic touch. In seven years of college, photography, and filmmaking allowed me to tell a greater story, the love story of two people. Stories can pass from generation to generation, and be relived through album photos and videos. My goal is to pass on your story to your family, your kids, and future generations. I believe I can capture this through filmmaking and photography to seal your memories so that they can be remembered forever. I believe that storytelling is extremely powerful and this is why I want to tell yours.

Martin Vo

CREATIVE DIRECTOR, PHOTOGRAPHER, EDUCATOR, CONSULTANT
Martin Vo has more than 30 years of experience in the art world. He grew up in California in 1994 and earned a handful of Bachelor’s degrees and awards. He won many artistic awards since he was nine years old. Only a short time after arriving in Sacramento, he won the prestigious Top Ten Youngest Artists in Sacramento Award in 1996. He also has won many other awards and contests throughout his High School including oil painting, drawing, woodcarving, and sculpture. He graduated from High School with the highest score possible International Baccalaureate in Art and exhibited his first Art Show to the public.

Continuing upwards in his career as creative director, He graduated from California State University, Sacramento with seven different degrees, including a Bachelor of Art in Photography and Cinematography Studio Arts and a Bachelor of Science in Graphic Design, branding, and marketing focus.

Through dedication and hard work, he became the youngest creative director of Studio 316. Eventually, this led to him opening his own Studio for photography and video productions.

He also placed second place in the creative division for the Wedding and Portrait Photography International (WPPI).

Martin has the education and experience to produce products that would exceed the client’s vision.

Testimonials

“CineCrown really went above and beyond to help us demonstrate the mission and work of our organization on screen. Martin was kind and patient with the subjects of our video, some of whom had survived serious trauma and that made a HUGE difference in comfortably sharing their stories.”

David H. – LGBT President.

We chose CineCrown above and beyond other solicitations because of their competitive pricing and extensive history working with other agencies. CineCrown proved to be a successful venture in helping us achieve a well-rounded branding campaign. The video series properly educated, informed, and motivated our audience on the importance of seeing, hearing, and reporting . . . It was a pleasure working with Martin Vo and his team.”

Jo N. – Senior Officer at SAC RT

“Corporate marketing vs. website for a nonprofit board. It’s obvious that Martin from CineCrown has a great academic background in IT and graphic design. What really makes for a great experience is his enthusiasm for his craft!”
