BORN TO CREATE AND SHARE
My name is Tory Carissimo and for as long as I can remember, I’ve loved to create things that other people enjoy. As a 10 year old kid, I began making home movies with my parent’s video camera to create silly stories for our family to watch. As an adult, my passion continues both through my career and through my side gigs. In my full time career as a software engineer, I’ve created online software systems that are used and loved by hundreds of thousands of people. My side passion for photography and videography is no different. As a local photographer, I enjoy capturing beautiful local scenery, exciting local sports, as well as local news stories and community events. As a videographer and the director of Overlook Horizon Inc., I regularly live broadcast to online audiences of hundreds of thousands of people and have over 10 million views on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Periscope, Twitch, Instagram and a few others! I’ve performed public speaking engagements to audiences with inspirational messages in science and a passion to keep learning. This is who I am. This is who I want to be. This is what I strive to get better at every day.
Always Searching For The Shot
I love to take the time to find a beautiful moment. Whether that’s a beautiful sunset or a unique perspective that you don’t normally get to see. I love to use my camera to take a snapshot in time to truly and deeply appreciate the world around us. As a licensed FAA Part 107 sUAS Remote Pilot (Drone Pilot) I’m able to capture unique views where humans eyes rarely get to be.
“When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence.”
“There is only you and your camera. The limitations in your photography are in yourself, for what we see is what we are.”
“Black and white are the colors of photography. They symbolize the alternatives of hope and despair to which mankind is subjected.”
