Miguel "Migs" del Barco is an Oakland-based storyteller with a particular focus on communicating through basketball photography, comedy production, and streetwear projects. Adeptly jumping between these forms of creative expression — which he has been practicing since leaving his career in tech sales amidst of a global pandemic in 2020 —Miguel's goal is to bridge a multicultural community together through his visual & creative storytelling.
MAD Focus is his pseudonym which serves as a play on his name "Miguel Alfonso del Barco" + photography, but also serves as a double entendre for his attention to detail, care for quality, and ambition. As a hopeful NBA Photographer, he has a unique position to narrate The Journey of a Shooter (in his case a photographer/former hooper) and be able to inspire other "Shooters" along their journey. His images create nuanced and multifaceted stories capturing intense passion, greatness, adversity, triumph, and everything in between.
