An Interview with Set Designer Raffy Tesoro

In this post Dustin Carbonera interviews Set Designer Raffy Tesoro . Raffy has answered a number of questions as well as walking us through some of the shots he’s been involved with creating sets for. Everybody seems to be into photography nowadays. Everyone wants to be the person behind the lens and capture a beautiful frame. Everyone wants to be that person who’ll be praised by people because he was able to come up with a perfect shot, of course, with the help of the oh-so-powerful Photoshop. Sadly, it seems that the name of the game today (for some) is not really how well you do in Photoshop, not how well you know how to get a good shot. For example, we need a surreal set for a model. We shoot a model and render a nice background. Less hassle, and faster processing, and viola! A nice photograph. Then comes Raffy Tesoro– a man who I can say is the Creator…of set designs. He is a man in between worlds; a man who knows and loves to build his set by hand, but does not fail to see the ease of using a 3D world. I had a wonderful chance of interviewing him online and learned so much about a world not ventured by most. As note, I did not edit his answers as they were perfect as they are, at least we get a grasp of Raffy Tesoro on a more personal approach. 1. How did you start in this industry? Why did you choose this path? I guess I was just born into it. My parents are both artists. My mom is a fashion designer and my dad is a lawyer by trade but an actor & theatre denizen by heart.
