Adriana Samanez

I'm Adriana, a communicator and photographer from Peru based in Miami. My journey as a photographer has been anything but ordinary: from the bustling streets of Lima to the sunny shores of Sydney, with a creative chapter in Europe and finally settled in Florida. I specialize in capturing love stories, wanderlust-fueled adventures, and unforgettable events. My work has been featured in Australian magazines and newspapers, a testament to my passion for storytelling through the lens. My photography business has taken me to places I would have never imagined, including some of the most beautiful cities and small villages in Italy. I especially love the fact that through photography, I get to meet amazing people and hear their own stories and adventures. When I’m not photographing, I’m probably planning my next getaway, diving into a great book, actually diving in the ocean or spending time with my wonderfully loud and loving family. I am excited to contribute to Live in Italy Magazine through my photography and perspective and to watch this project grow.
