While I didn’t spend time in Ayacucho, you can’t really go to Peru and experience it’s culture without knowing about the amazing place. The women from Ayacucho have a significant presence in the major Peruvian festivities such as Inti Raymi, which celebrates the sun god.

One of the things that I love the most about photography is the power it gives us to make an impact in our subjects’ lives. Meet the super talented Celia D.

This colorful and magical landscape shaped her exuberant approach to photography and fashion.
