Ursula Puga / About

Photography has always been my passion.

I am an experienced and versatile photographer who specializes in beauty portraits, fashion and advertising photography.

I was born in Peru and moved to California to study photography. I first studied Fine Art photography in San Francisco Art Institute and then, in the Brooks Institute of Photography in beautiful Santa Barbara, where I learned the technical and commercial side of my trade. Both skills fused together for my benefit.

I moved to NYC driven by the energy of the city and the eagerness to learn --hands on – all the ins and outs of photography from the best of the industry. NYC was my home base from where I traveled the world for work.

Later I relocated in Miami, and I was blessed to work with the best in the world: Prestigious American and European photographers, top models and artists who used the city of Miami
as a creative backdrop. This experience refined my eyes and taught me the sufficient skills to exploit the light quality in a way that I could modify it to create amazing images.

I understood early on in my career, to always keep my clients happy; guiding them towards the best photo session experience. Knowing that in my creative endeavor, teamwork is the clue to an outstanding final product, to be adaptable coping with the obstacles presented but remaining truly focused in our goals.

Working from the arid mountains in Turkey, the breathtaking lakes in Italy, the multicultural cities in France, Peru and Australia, to the desserts in New Mexico and California as well as the beaches in Florida, Jamaica, Bahamas has given me the experience to accept the challenges and generate beautiful images with the elements I have around me.

What motivates me the most, is the rush I feel when I see a magnificent image being captured in my lens. This passion is what I offer my clients in a pleasant environment obtaining outstanding work.
