Wanda Benvenutti
Photojournalist/Commercial Photographer

• http://www.wandabenvenutti.com

I shoot editorial assignments for national and regional magazines and newspapers. I also create spectacular visual branding for progressive regional companies, as well as business or personal portraits. Currently I'm working on my first book, American Boricua: Puerto Rican Life in the United States.

Creating photos of people that are natural and relaxed. Teasing out the essence of what a company wants to say visually. Putting people at ease during photo shoots in order to work collaboratively with joy and laughter.

Fun clients. Local firms that need commercial photography. World Peace. Better ways to cook tofu. To drink more water.
