Hi there!
This is Yulia Davis, the owner of American Life Photo.
My journey as a photographer started in 2015 when, after 10 years of marriage, my husband complained that I could not hold a camera. Even though I already had a Master's Degree in Economics, I decided to go back to college and take a photography class. Then I took another photography class. Then one more. And I got hooked.
Since then I had my photos purchased by collectors, displayed at local galleries and museums (Second Saturday Gallery Association, View Point gallery, Crocker Art Museum), and won a couple of awards (street photography, juror award ). I guess I learned how to hold a camera after all.
Today, I cannot imagine my life without a camera. I am still learning, but I have been shooting professionally since 2016. My favorite style is a mix of story telling and guided posing. I enjoy the technical, artistic, and conceptual aspects of photography from composition to posing and lightning. I have a passion for capturing timeless details and emotions that can make lifetime memories.
