Tell me a little bit about yourself…
My full name is Yesenia Soto. I always felt cheated out of a middle name. Which is where the idea of an alias came from. I am a full time freelance photographer and obsessed with the idea of working with agencies, high profile models and magazines.
As you have grown within your talent, what inspires you to create?
Music is the greatest inspiration. Sometimes I am so overwhelmed with a feeling that it creates images in my head, creating tones scenes with each note. As theatrical as it sounds is exactly as extravagant as it is in my head.
Ultimately, thinking of my audiences is what helps me to continue to create. Knowing that a single thought and action can spark a sudden combustion of feeling in a person is incredible. Multiplying it by possible millions is the feeling I strive for.
How long have you been producing your craft and why did you begin this form of expression?
I have caressed a camera since 2008.
It has been a snowball effect ever since my first client in senior year of highschool.
My very first model being myself.. I loved manipulating photos and surprising my friends with cool new looks that seemed to be ever-changing and surprisingly ever-progressing.
It was impossible to discontinue something that had a life of its own.
This life quickly consumed me.
What do you ultimately want to accomplish with your talent?
At my last breath, I would like to know that the people viewing my works understand the love that I have for beauty and the art of natural talent.
I want to create photographs with people that become genuine and are revisited through out the years.
Above all, I would like to use photography as my vehicle to fuse Earth’s potential with the human body.
As one of Dallas’ amazing artists, what advice would you offer to the next generation of creative females?
Fear & Anger is almost as powerful as passion. Manifest it.
Do you have a specific childhood memory that has inspired your life as an artist?
I can’t help but equate the emotions I have now when I create to the emotions of creating with a self timer and presenting them to my friends.
Seems to be the same, just on a growing scale.
