Renz Dimaandal
Former Staff Photographer
I capture stunning images of cars, bikes, and motorsports for various editorial platforms and channels. With an education background in illustration from California State University, Fullerton, I have a strong visual sense and a keen eye for details, colors, and compositions. I also have extensive experience in digital photography, editing, and post-production, using various tools and software to enhance the quality and impact of my photos. In addition, I have a passion for art education and instructor-led training, having taught after-school art workshops and courses at Cypress College and other local K-12 institutions. I enjoy working with a talented and diverse team of editors, writers, and photographers, and contributing to the mission of MotorTrend Group to deliver engaging and informative content to automotive enthusiasts and enthusiast consumers. My goal is to continuously improve my skills and creativity, and to showcase the beauty and innovation of the automotive industry through my lens.
