Diana Valdivia

Hi! I’m Diana, a 20-year-old freelance photographer based in Syracuse New York and Southern California. I absolutely love what I do and specialize in sport and portrait photography.

I originally found my love for sports photography as a Sophomore in high school. Since then I have grown this love through internships with Syracuse Athletics and The Cape Cod Baseball League.

At Syracuse, I discovered a love for portraiture and through my and work with multiple school publications my passion for lighting, studio work, and on-location portraiture has been ignited.

My goal here is clear: capture the true essence behind those I work with. Wether I am working with sports, upcoming grads, or journalistic stories, I strive to truly show the personality behind the still moments.
