Mario Gorman aka smokedsignals is a Long Beach based photographer from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and a proud 100% Navajo, first-generation born off the reservation. Originally moving to Los Angeles to pursue BMX, he now specializes in fashion, food, and BMX photography, bringing a raw, immersive quality to every frame. With years of perfecting the art of catching the right moment, he knows how to execute a shot and make it count every time.

His raw street-style BMX work shapes the energy of his fashion photography, blending edge with a clean, elegant finish. Food photography marked the beginning of his commercial career, working for a speakeasy and a restaurant in both photography and videography. It was there he developed the precision and artistry that now define his work. Though each subject is different, together they reflect his distinct vision.
