| Location | New York, NY, United States |
| Introduction | Always trying to land on my own two feet. I am artistic, independent, rebellious, free-spirited, rather willful, and solitary most of the time. I like to take pretty pictures I would hang on my walls but I wouldn't call myself a professional; at least, until I started my photography business. I am happiest when I am at my most creative. Unlike today's illustrators & photographers, however, I tend to be very traditional. For me, computers have nothing on the hands, nor digital on film. I currently live and work in NYC. There are a lot of things I find interesting, including photography, technology, social attitudes, psychology, fashion, art and the arts, classic books and movies, and my favorite, animals. In my leisure time I love to draw and paint, shoot photos and be outside with my friends. You can find evidence of my photographic activities, my artwork and archives on my website, www.dianarivera.com. Feel free to follow me on Twitter and on Instagram. |
