Hi! I’m Oriel.

I’m a Filmmaker,
A Photographer,
A creative producer,
and a daydreamer.

I make cool stuff.


In 2008, I founded The Llama Studio, a creative agency that specializes in creating films, documentaries, and digital content for brands. I have been working professionally in New York City and beyond with established companies, brands, and collaborating artists. My work has been published on The Guardian, Pitchfork, TIME, Nowness, Nylon, Billboard, and The Washington Post.

VIDEO Projects

  • Photography Portfolio

    In the realm of Fine Art, the synergy of art and commerce converges effortlessly. Each piece is a delicate dance, where the profound meets the practical.

  • Portraits

    Each portrait is a canvas that bears witness to the people encountered—a collection of stories etched in the lines of a face, the glint of an eye.

  • Nightlife

    In the pulsating world of Nightlife, my lens immerses you in the vibrant tapestry of queer life—where raves, strobe lights, and after-parties become a visual symphony.

  • Editorial

    In my series, "Departures," I peel back the layers of queer life indoors, offering an intimate portrayal of beauty tinged with isolation.
