About Me
Hello! I'm Ariel,
I've been carrying my camera everywhere since I was a teenager, and professionally wielding the lens since graduating from the Queensland Collage of Art over 10 years ago.
In my commercial work, I specialize in personal branding, product photography, and portraiture, blending my artistic sensibility with a professional approach.
I have a rich background in producing arts events, and festivals, and leading curatorial projects, having worked extensively in the arts scenes of Brisbane & Melbourne (AUS) and Ho Chi Minh City & Hanoi (Vietnam).
Now, living in Los Angeles, I'm thrilled to bring all these experiences together, whether through the lens of my camera or the curation of a project, I'm dedicated to capturing and celebrating unique stories.
Let's create something beautiful together!
