Hello.

Hi! I’m Aria… an international travel and portrait photographer, born and raised in New York. At the age of 10, I learned about the art of film photography from my great-aunt who was a photography hobbyist. After rummaging through my Nana’s collection of National Geographics magazines dating back to the 1940s, I decided in the sixth grade I too would travel the world and photograph it. For the past 15 years, I have been a portrait photographer, making my rounds around the globe.

In my early twenties, I began working as a freelance digital retoucher working for various photographers. I eventually branched off to start my own company, focusing on portraiture and events. In the early 2000s, I studied graphic design at FIT and NYU and spent many years working in the fashion and entertainment industry. I have worked with everyone from Jay Z to Versace, Johnson & Johnson, the King of Spain, and even Dr. Fauci. As glamorous and exciting as some of my jobs have been, I’ve always had a passion for owning my own photography company. 

I’ve spent the past several years living overseas in France, New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, and Albania as well as spending time in China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, South Africa, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya, Qatar, Hungary, England, Finland, the Bahamas, and Mexico.

I now split my time doing portrait photography as well as focusing on philanthropic and humanitarian projects.
