Artist Statement
My name is AJ DeAngelo and I’m a NYC / NJ based professional DP, Camera Operator, and Photographer.
I have worked for various TV networks shooting everything from foodies on Food Network with Bobby Flay, to Super-model showdowns with Tyson Beckford, as well as “What Not To Wear” fashions with Stacy London and Clinton Kelly. Over the past several years the focus of my filming has been Real Estate and Island Culture – on location all over the Hawaiian Islands, The Caribbean, and Mexico with HGTV’s “Life Series” – “Hawaii Life”, “Mexico Life”, “Caribbean Life” and “Island Life”. It’s here, where all of my previous work filming beauty, food, and fashion comes together, filming luxurious homes & beautiful island vistas, while capturing good vibes & island lifestyle. I have a fun, happy, and comforting approach to filming that translates great to TV for those with experience on camera or complete strangers that step in front of my lens for the first time.
I’m a B-roll Champion!!! My favorite things to shoot are places to go, people to see, and things to do! I love being on the road shooting everything from food trucks to five star restaurants… nature, mountains, beaches, surf, and island adventure – but mostly the cool people and the stories they share along the way down this magnificent road that I call, “Operation Endless Summer”.
My colorful eye for photography and inspiration for filming comes from home. As a Jersey Shore native, I lived and worked on the boardwalk in Seaside Heights, NJ over half my life! It was on the Seaside Height’s Boardwalk “spin the wheel” games of chance, facing straight out onto the sun-gleaming ocean & endless flood of wild, sunburnt tourists, combined with the sounds of rickety roller-coasters & the hum and buzz of glowing carnival lights, where the magic first amazed and next inspired me to become the camera man that I am today.
Capturing beautiful scenes is my passion, but what truly validates this gift of mine is filling your imagination with my vibrant images and colorful visions.
