ARTIST STATEMENT
My focus in photography is on capturing and emphasizing the beauty of my subjects, whether that is on location or in the studio. I offer images that vibrantly and uniquely capture the beauty and confidence that is in every person. My images spark a conversation, challenging the normal ideals of what beauty is, and helping society learn to love themselves for who they are and how they look, through photographs that are radiant, flattering, natural and authentic.
Growing up as a young hispanic woman, I never saw myself represented in mainstream media. For the longest time I was ashamed of my culture, race, and ethnicity. In my work, I add that inclusivity of different cultures, races, and ethnicities to my work that to this day we really don't see in photography. In order for younger generations, my generations, and even older generations to learn to respect/acknowledge/value not only their culture, race, and ethnicity but others as well.
