Leticia Valdez is a New York City based fashion and portrait photographer; her photographic style is painterly, nostalgic, dark and quiet. She draws inspiration from art history, pictorialism, religion and solitude. She is moved by dull and dim color palettes; all that is quiet and calm. Leticia 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.
