More about Maria A....

What do you love about your job?

Photography has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. First and foremost, photography allows me to express my creativity. Whether I’m taking portraits of people or architecture, I have the ability to capture the world around me in a way that reflects my unique perspective. I can experiment with different lighting, angles, and compositions to create images that are truly my own. Photography is a form of art that lets me express myself and showcase my vision.
Another reason why I love photography is that it allows me to capture memories. Whether it’s a family vacation or a special event, photographs have the power to transport me back to those moments in time. Looking through old photos is like reliving those memories all over again.
