ABOUT CELESTE

CELESTE UMAÑA

PHOTOGRAPHER 

BASED IN LA

Celeste Umana is a Latina photographer from South LA. Since 2016, she’s been a member of Las Fotos Project where she’s had the opportunity to experiment with many different styles of photography. She uses light, color, and candid portraiture to express the full range of emotions and expression. Through her work at LFP, she’s developed a keen eye for detail and her creative approach shines through her compositions. Celeste’s life experiences inform her passion for representation behind and in front of the camera and she hopes to continue photography as a means of long-form storytelling into her adulthood.
