Amanda Diaz’s Bio:
The type of photography that inspires me is romantic and dreamy, almost pre-Raphaelite. I admire all the different beauty in people and love sharing that with others in my photos.Many photographers pride themselves on their technical ability but I rely on my creativity and the valuable people that contribute to my ideas. The whole process from start to finish truly excites me.
Photography is my passion and always will be a part of me and what I do in my life.
