Meet Michael Escobedo, LA’s Best Rooftop Photographer
Meet Michael Escobedo, Los Angeles’ best rooftop photographer. A couple years ago, Escobedo picked up a camera. He likes to photograph a range of topics, but found that he was mostly drawn to cityscapes. He also quickly discovered that in a city like Los Angeles, where the visually creative talent is abundant, he wanted to set himself apart. He and his friends started what is called “rooftopping.”
As he explains it, “I try to get myself onto whatever roof possible to capture a new, fresh perspective of my city.”
This picture is stunning on multiple levels. The composition is breathtaking and bold. It is not a picture most of us can or are willing to make and the fact that it’s a self-portrait makes such an image even bolder. Escobedo set his Canon 70D camera, with self-timer, on a tripod as he sat himself on the edge. The result created a mood that is transcending.
Los Angeles is definitely one of the most stunning photos to see from above—as several photographers have demonstrated—but Michael Escobedo‘s photos are definitely the most dizzying.The photographer travels the world (he’s currently in China) capturing a variety of subjects, but what gives him the most thrill is scaling skyscrapers and looking down on the city. “I started [rooftopping] because I started getting bored of seeing the city from the same vantage points over and over again,” he told LAist. “I wanted to bring something, new, fresh, something that people hadn’t seen before. I wanted to show everyone how beautiful and different the city that they’ve lived their whole lives in can be, by changing their perspectives.”
Besides shooting amazing scenic photos in cities such as Los Angeles, Dubai, Barcelona, Lima Peru, San Francisco, West Fjords Iceland, Santorini Greece, Escobedo has also captured magic moments of artists including Nipsey Hussle, 03 Greedo, Ludacris, and more. Due to his outstanding photography work, he’s been profiled by the L.A. Times, LAist and more. Going by the handle @AwokenPhotography on Instagram, he’s amassed over 37 thousand followers who love his photography aesthetic and constantly comment how they would love to frame his pictures in their home.
