La Zavala is (a.k.a., DiamonEyes) is the username of a stock model and photographer present on DeviantArt, specializing in "vintage" stock.

Education
Luis attended the Brooks Institute of Photography in order to enter his profession. He has since complained that it "wasn't worth it," as what he was taught was "already way outdated" per current industry standards. That it was "a money trap," designed "only to create debt." This has by no means been the only time someone has said this of an institute.

Career
In a journal entry, Luis has stated that he lives life "like a vagabond," going from one project to the next and "effectively living on the set" of whatever project he has agreed to take. His photography side work is what keeps him afloat in-between film projects. To assist him in this, he utilizes Final Cut Studio, Logic Studio, a Canon Elan 2E and a 7E of that series, and the Adobe Creative Suite.

On September 19th of 2016, Luis announced on his DeviantArt journal page that he had become an editor for the YouTube channel "Death Toll's Corner."

Dozerfleet involvement
In 2015, Luis' photo of a vintage bouncer was modified to look like The Socratic from Phaemer Village Peacekeepers, given that photo's resemblance to the character. He has been the closest photographic match to date for the character, one that was originally created in The Sims 3.
