Mentoring emerging photographers—and those looking to pivot into a full-time creative life—has always been one of my greatest joys. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding hundreds of photographers around the world as they carve out their niche, elevate their artistry, and learn to tell deeply moving stories through their images. From refining visual storytelling to mastering digital workflow, post-production, marketing strategies, and even selling fine art prints—I’ve walked alongside many talented artists on this journey.
Today, I’m thrilled to spotlight one of them: Cynthia Ariosta.
Cynthia is a passionate scuba diver and a fierce advocate for the planet and its wildlife. Her new website, Into The Wild Imagery, is a love letter to the natural world, featuring a breathtaking collection of underwater and wildlife photographs that speak volumes about beauty, conservation, and connection.
This weekend, Cynthia will be unveiling her work at her very first show in Healdsburg, California—a huge milestone, and one I know is just the beginning of something truly special.
Take a moment to explore her new site and support her incredible work: Into The Wild Imagery by Cynthia Ariosta.
Huge congratulations, Cynthia—this is just the start!
