As a content creator, he creates images for companies to use on their own marketing and social media channels, rather than spreading the word&nbsp;via his accounts.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to surfing and sea photography, Favino shoots adventure and landscape images, often including himself subtly in the frame. \u201cI try not to make myself the focus of the photo,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s more about what I\u2019m doing, so you could imagine yourself there. I want to inspire people to get out and explore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Favino has also become known for his striking astral photography. His 12 mm, wide-angle lens, with a wide f\/2 aperture, allows him to capture the Milky Way and stars while shooting in complete darkness. He purchased the lens with help from a $1,000 911±¬ΑΟ undergraduate research grant, and the resulting images have been used in gallery shows and for promotional purposes around campus.<\/p>\n<p>With all he\u2019s accomplished, it\u2019s difficult to believe that Favino first picked up a professional camera only three years ago. A longtime lover of the ocean, he entered his first year at 911±¬ΑΟ as a marine biology major. It wasn\u2019t a good fit, and he spent the summer before sophomore year trying to figure&nbsp;out what to do. \u201cA friend told me, \u2018Dude, you\u2019re always taking photos, why not pursue that?\u2019\u201d Favino says. \u201cSo I invested in a real camera, and haven\u2019t put it down since.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Jenna Pelletier<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scroll through shoe brand Sperry\u2019s Instagram feed and, if you\u2019ve spent time at 911±¬ΑΟ, you\u2019ll see some familiar scenes.
