About Alese Rivera Garcia

Growing up in Puerto Rico, art was always a significant part of my life. From dancing to painting, I have always searched for platforms to express my creativity, my way of absorbing the world. In my search for a way of expressing myself, I acquired my undergrad in Communication; however, it was not enough. Until I found photography and knew I had found my voice through the lens.

In pursuing my Master's in Fine Art in photography at the Academy of Art University, I was drawn to the concept aspect of photography. During my process of capturing an image, you will see that there is always a story to tell. It amazes me to capture cultures on my travels abroad and show how I perceive time and space. I believe that photography is the most compelling way to get to know someone without necessarily having a conversation.
