This is Vane, your Maui photographer.
Welcome adventurers! I am excited to be a part of your journey. Beyond the lens, I’m passionate about writing, adventure travel, and all things nature. I believe photos are the closest thing we humans have to freezing time, and I’ve spent the last 5 years learning new, fun, and creative ways to capture life.
If you’re seeking a photographer who not only documents your memories but also prioritizes the experience, you are in the right place.
From scouting the most scenic locations to recommending local activities, taking care of the tedious permitting process, helping you plan a special surprise, or proposing out-of-the-box photo ideas, I will be there every step of the way, ensuring you enjoy both the process and the result.
I can’t wait to meet you and create stunning images together!
My Artistic Journey
Vanessa Arias Ruiz (Caracas, 1993) is a Venezuelan photographer and writer who is intrigued by people and the beauty of entering their worlds through art.
She holds a B.A. degree in International Affairs from Universidad Santa Maria (Caracas) and studied photography at Roberto Mata School of Photography (Miami). Her literary work has been included in the short story collection “Vacaciones sin Hotel,” an anthology of Latin American writers in the United States, which won the Florida Book Award in 2021 in the Spanish language category. She has also contributed to “23 Relaciones Imperfectas”, which was published in 2023.
Currently, Vanessa is working on a photo book about her series of artistic nudes, “Bare Idea,” which explores the intimate connection between humans and nature in her current home of Hawai’i.
