Who I Am

My name is Axell Castaneda. I'm 23 years old, born on August 29, 2001, in Brazil and raised between the vibrant streets of San Diego and the soulful rhythm of Nashville, I carry with me a deep love for culture, people, and storytelling. With a kind heart and an eye for beauty in the everyday, I’ve found my voice through the lens—capturing fleeting moments, raw emotion, and slices of history that deserve to be remembered.

My passions are rooted in the rhythm of the streets and the stories they tell. From boxing rings to lowrider shows, from the richness of Chicano culture to the pulse of live music, I chase moments that move people. Whether I’m exploring new cities, diving into history, laughing at life’s ironies, or documenting street life through photography, my mission is simple: to grow, to connect, and to bring joy.

I believe that every person has a story worth telling, and every moment has the potential to become history. Through my work, I aim to help others capture their own legacy—one frame, one laugh, one memory at a time
