ABOUT ME

My name is Luis Flores, I was born and raised in Los Angeles growing up in the Lincoln Heights  and Highland Park neighborhoods. Photography has always captured my attention and after  taking beginning photography classes at Los Angeles Valley College I fell in love with the  practice. I run my own creative clothing brand online which is one of the reasons I pursued  photography in the first place, to photograph my own work. I really enjoy street photography  and studio photography as I photograph and showcase a lot of my merchandise. Trying to get a  bigger grasp on photography I enrolled in photojournalism and hope to complete a  photojournalism degree.  

An interesting fact about me is that I love cycling from BMX to road and mountain bikes, I own  4 bikes that I enjoy taking out every once in a while. I used to race at the Encino velodrome  back in 2017.

Mission Statement

THE VALLEY STAR News is the independent student media outlet of Los Angeles Valley College. The Valley Star News is a website (including its social media platforms), a general-circulation broadsheet, and a magazine (The Crown) that serves as a laboratory for the journalism/photography programs and a bulletin board for the campus community. It is subject to the protections and limitations of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. The highest standards of responsible and ethical journalism always apply, as do the libel laws of the land.

The Star News is first and foremost a campus media outlet. This must be reflected as much as possible in its coverage. Its mandate is to represent and inform the student body of Valley College. It reflects the interests of that community in all areas – campus news, current events, politics, sports, arts, entertainment, and more.
