Hello.


Hi! I’m Aria… a destination portrait and event 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 grandmother’s collection of National Geographic magazines dating back to the 1940s, I decided I, too, would travel the world and photograph it. For the past 15 years, I’ve been making my rounds around the globe, photographing everything from high-profile events to exotic vacations.

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. I have worked with everyone from the United Nations to Jay Z, Versace, Johnson & Johnson, King Juan Carlos, the King of Spain, and even Dr. Fauci. I have recently been listed on Vogue’s photography platform, PhotoVogue. PhotoVogue photographers are recognized by Vogue editors for their work, indicating a high level of skill, a unique style, and a strong understanding of their subject matter.

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

I now split my time between portrait photography and focusing on philanthropic and humanitarian projects around the world.
