I am a photographer, retoucher, designer, and all-around creative now based in Los Angeles after spending 8 years in New York. I graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology with a BFA in Visual Media in 2016. I'm a photographer at small green door, specializing in reflective and difficult-to-capture products. 

Cody Tatro

I specialize in connecting people through  digital channels and building impactful relationships. My focus is on creating compelling narratives and leveraging innovative tools to enhance brand visibility and foster meaningful interactions.

Vineta Rendler

I'm an artist, Co-Founder, and Creative Director at small green door. My role at the studio consists of expanding our ever-growing team of creatives, seeking out new and unique personalities and skill sets that will ultimately benefit our clients. I also lead the design and development teams, leveraging my nearly two decades of coding and design experience with companies such as Adobe, Cannon, and Oracle.   My personal passion is in experimenting with user-generated experiences through site-specific works. My work has been presented at Berkeley Art Museum, Pacific Design Center, New Langton Arts, and have been featured in several design publications. Other variations on the theme of text and sculpture include my installation at the Munich National Opera House. My work explores the deeper connection between the imperfection of technology and the seemingly perfect natural world as a mirror of our mistrust for how we interpret meaning and form.

Leo Estevez

After graduating from college, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue my passion for photography. I've been living and working in the city for the past decade, showing my work in galleries around the LA area. I am also an accomplished painter and sculptor. My work is known for its bold colors and for bringing life to the beauty of the world.

Tarina Doolittle

My passion for photography has led me to explore various genres, from portrait and fashion to landscape and nature. I believe that every photo has a story to tell, and enjoy capturing the essence of my subjects in my work. I work as a photography assistant at small green door, collaborating with talented photographers and contributing my skills to create various visual imagery. I aspire to one day become a professional photographer in the future, and hope to make a name for myself in the industry as a versatile and innovative artist.

Tony Valentino

I am the Co-Founder and Senior Photographer here at small green door. After earning a degree from the Art Center College of Design, I launched my career as a professional photographer in Germany, New York, San Francisco, and now Los Angeles. The list of clients I've shot for over the last 18 years includes many big brand names such as Nike, Toms Shoes, Floyd Detroit, and Liquid Death. I enjoy the opportunity to not only connect with many highly-skilled creatives in all mediums and styles while at the studio, but also to work alongside my husband Leo, and son, Avo.

Dunja Dumanski

Logistical in nature but creative at heart. I’m constantly learning and growing to become a better creative to support my team and clients alike. On days off you’ll find me shooting on film, watching anime, cooking, roller skating, and snuggling with my cat.
