Leticia Valdez is a New York City-based portrait photographer and freelance photo educator, known for her painterly, nostalgic, dark, and quiet style. She draws inspiration from art history, pictorialism, religion, and solitude, and is moved by dull, dim color palettes and all that is quiet and calm. Leticia works with digital, analog, and 19th-century photographic processes.
She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from the Fashion Institute of Technology and a Master of Arts in Costume Studies from Steinhardt, New York University.
