Hi my name is Emmanuel "Manny" Taveras and I am a bilingual creative director, cinematographer, and multimedia storyteller based in New Orleans. Known online as @MannyFilmedIt, I specialize in visual storytelling through photography, videography, and content strategy. With a sharp eye for detail and a passion for authentic narratives, I’ve led dynamic campaigns for brands like SHOC Visors and contributed to major productions such as live sports broadcasting with Fox Sports.
My creative journey includes a wide range of freelance projects — from capturing the essence of cultural events like Essence Festival and White Linen Night to producing compelling content for sports teams, local brands, and universities. As the Lead Creative for Dillard Athletics and an active member of the Black Photography Club, I’m deeply rooted in the HBCU creative community.
I bring experience in video editing (DaVinci Resolve, CapCut), photography (Lightroom, Photoshop), and social media strategy to every project I touch. With over 150K followers on TikTok and millions of views across platforms, I understand how to craft visuals that resonate.
Let’s tell your story through powerful visuals.
