About liana

Liana developed an interest in photography while in high school. After her Video Production teacher assigned her to photograph some bands playing in the school's courtyard, she developed a love for shooting live music. Having played in bands herself throughout high school, music has always been a huge part of her life. She has shot everything from intimate bar shows to huge music festivals with tens of thousands of people. Noteworthy acts she has covered include: Jay-Z, Green Day, No Doubt, Slipknot, Cee-lo Green, Daft Punk, The Smashing Pumpkins, Animal Collective, Refused, & lots lots more. In addition to photography, Liana also writes reviews and has been published on numerous blogs and publications like Culture Collide and the LA music blog Lo-Pie.

Liana's key focus in photography is event coverage and human interest stories. However, she also shoots head shots for actors, children's portraits, and behind the scenes images/still photography for indie films and web series.

Aside from music, Liana also enjoys writing about geek culture, TV & Film, lifestyle topics, and travel.

She holds a BSC in Film & Theatre Arts from the University of Miami's School of Communication.
