Growing up in Virginia as the son of an engineer, Nayo was exposed to film photography at the age of 11 during family travels. After attending college in North Carolina, Nayo moved to South Florida. Surrounded by the tropical beaches, Nayo started his professional career shooting for the elite level agencies in the Miami Beach market. As the popularity of social media grew, Nayo transitioned to shooting for several commercial brands, highlighted by: Coca-Cola, Levi’s, Jordan Brand, Clinique, Panerai, La Perla, Giorgio Armani and Calzedonia. Nayo’s work has also been featured in numerous magazines around the world, most notably in Maxim, DT Magazine (Spain), L'Officiel and SI.com. Nayo currently resides in Atlanta, GA where he mainly supports the booming film industry, but travels regularly for assignments in Miami, Milan, LA, NYC, the Caribbean, and the Mediterranean. Nayo enjoys directing other creative professionals to collaboratively express the story that lies in each photo. Following the emotive words of Elia Kazan, “The greatest show on earth lies in the expression of human emotion”
