EARLY LIFE:
Born in La Paz, Bolivia, and raised in Northern Virginia, Yuzeli's fascination with photography began in her childhood, captivated by the beauty of still images. This early passion blossomed during high school when she discovered the art of developing photos in a dark room, sparking a deep and lasting interest in photography. As of today, she still has the cardboard camera made in her class, painted with an all black paint and a needle size hole to let light in to the developing sheet! Ask her about it!

EDUCATION:
Yuzeli is dedicated to learning from the foremost experts in the fashion industry. She draws significant inspiration from Lindsay Adler and has participated in many of her workshops as well as with renowned photographers John Russo and ABDM (Ahmad Barber & Donte Maurice) to explore celebrity photography techniques. This ongoing education helps her refine and develop her own distinctive style.
MISSION:

She believes that professional photos are cherished memories, and it's a privilege everyone should experience at least once to truly appreciate their unique value.
