Valentina Vitols Photography

¡Hola! My name is Valentina. I am a photographer specializing in Travel, Documentary, Editorial and Fine Art photography. I was born in Caracas. I lived, loved, celebrated in my beloved hometown until 2003. I am also a fan of airplanes and mass transportation, and a daydreamer.

I enjoy photographing and teaching people of all ages, but especially children from the ages of 9 to 16.

I moved to Atlanta, GA and got an Master in Fine Arts in Photography from Savannah College of Art and Design. Previous education includes an MS in Integrated Marketing Communications, a Law Degree and Literature studies. I have also attended several workshops at the Summer Writing Festival, at the University of Iowa.

I am fortunate to be able to jump around the globe often. I have traveled thoroughly as a photographer and as a curious mind. Twice a year, I volunteer as a Photography Instructor for children and youth at Esperanza Viva, a home for youth in Puebla, Mexico, through Aver School.

Also, I have documentary work from Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Mexico, Argentina, Uruguay, Peru, Costa Rica, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, United Kingdom, Venezuela and the US. My work has been shown in several cities in the United States and in Caracas.
Currently, I live, work and enjoy the fortune of having wonderful friends in Seattle, WA. A few times a week, I work for an amazing startup company called Shutter Tours, conducting photographic tours in Seattle. Lately, I have been dipping my toes in the food photography world. It has been a delicious happening.

I make sure I am always surrounded by good, warm coffee, chocolate, farmers market, great chefs and food lovers and water to enjoy with my husband Ryan.

Also, I volunteer for local non-profit organizations on a regular basis.
