I live in the Chicago metro area. I shoot photo and video. I attended Columbia College Chicago where I studied film. I’ve worked on independent films, low budget music videos and documentary shorts. I’ve also done studio, event, and food photography. I’m a U.S. Army veteran. In the army, I wrote news stories and took photos. The army has really good photographers and really good storytellers. They have the best instructors at the Defense Information School (DINFOS) in Fort Meade, MD. I enjoyed my time in the army but I wanted to be free and pursue my passion. I like photography because you capture a moment in time. I like films because you’re able to dream and escape from life for a brief moment in time. It’s through film and photography that humanity grows. Chicago is a great metro area. It’s not perfect but it has a large population and history to capture. My site is called Jousama Media because my work is bigger than just Alfonso Corral Media. It involves other people who have helped me along the way.
