A course by Diane Villadsen
Diana Villadsen is a professional photographer based in San Francisco. Her interest in photography dates back to her childhood, when she took her first photo in high school in 2011. The strong response and feedback from her friends, family, and teacher encouraged her to pursue photography as a career. As she grew up in Silicon Valley, she had the pressure of choosing a professional career like technology or medicine. However, she went with her passion and chose creativity. So, she studied linguistics in college and gained her photography expertise through hands-on experimentation.
In 2013, she started posting her work on Instagram, which got a great response. Eventually, she started her career as a photographer, creating portraits and shooting lookbooks for fashion brands. She has since collaborated with well-known clients like Oppo, Native, Zappos, Albirds, and MailChimp.
