Raul Roa
I am a Southern California-based photojournalist with more than 15 years experience in daily newspaper photography. I've worked for the San Gabriel Valley Newspaper Group which includes the Pasadena Star-News, Whittier Daily News and the San Gabriel Valley Tribune. I am currently staff photographer for the L.A. Times Community News group of papers which includes the Glendale News-Press, the Burbank Leader and the La Cañada Valley Sun. I have covered everything from news, sports and features and major incidents like fires and floods to professional, college and high school sports. I've also photographed concerts, special events and major awards shows in Southern California. As a hobby, I enjoy photographing nature, specially birds and I wrote a book on my experiences in the Galapagos Islands.
