My name is Tommy Weinstein and I am a creative based out of Sacramento, CA. I am a graduate of Florida State University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Studio Art -Photography. My passion for photography and videography developed while capturing live music, action sports events, and even restaurant and business debuts. I have always been drawn to visual and auditory media. I love the creative process behind bringing an idea to life. I founded Sunset Visual Arts with intention of finding people, companies, and brands and telling their stories in a meaningful and impactful way.
