BIO
I'm María, photographer, retoucher and self portraiture artist.
I was born in 1987 in Caracas, Venezuela. The first song I loved was Bohemian Rhapsody at age 5, and my fascination with music and the arts would only expand over time. I started liking cameras when I was in college, and soon was photographing my friend's shows after graduating. I then went on to work with Revista Ladosis and Guataca Producciones until I moved to Boston in 2012.
I am now a staff photographer and writer at Melodic Magazine, and have been a collaborator for publications such as Vanyaland, Live For Live Music, FRAMECODE Mag, Front of House Boston, The Entertainment Outlet, New England Sounds, Consequence of Sound, One-Twenty Decibels, Sad Punk Press, Allston Pudding, and Do617.
I have also been able to connect through photography with local cultural organizations, taking on assignments as house photographer for the Boch Center and the Mosesian Center For The Arts.
Along the way, I have had the pleasure of photographing some of my all-time favorite artists, connected with our community and explored my own creative endeavors through self portraiture, with my sights set on the next fulfilling project.
