A Waking Eye is run by Andrés Sauceda, a Videographer and Photographer who often seeks to capture the beauty we sometimes miss, when we aren’t completely present.

Every moment behind a lens is an instance in time which Andrés seeks to capture and cultivate the curiosity and wonder that permeates the world around us.

Andrés first started photographing with disposable cameras while on trips to Hong Kong, Teotihuacan, Shenzen, Monte Albán, Manila, Phnom Penh, and other areas across Asia and Mexico. Upon upgrading to a Nikon D90 in college, Andrés began capturing moments around him. Fields of sorghum and orchards in Edinburg, Tx, tattoo artists, architecture, life.

However, Andrés had only backed up all of that footage in a singular hard-drive. During a lightning storm, Andrés’ computer and electronics were damaged and he lost a few years worth of photography and videos. Andrés mourned the loss of those moments by selling all his photography equipment. A bit harsh, but not everyone understands how to handle certain types of grief.

After all those years, Andrés realized that those moments still existed within him, and that more could be captured.

Armed with a Master of Science in Rhetoric, a Bachelor of Science in Sound Engineering, 6+ years of Data Analysis experience, 10+ years of photography, videography, lighting, audio, experinec, Andrés Sauceda is a jack of all trades and a Master of some. He now seeks to capture beautiful moments in time and tell stories of the world that we live in.

A Waking Eye is based in Austin, Texas.
