About 

Uzuri Ray is a Mexican-American 15-year-old based in Boyle Heights. Her biggest inspiration is her mother’s passion for photography. She’s always found photography interesting but never had a chance to fully experiment with a camera until she joined the Las Fotos Project. She loves having the opportunity to capture special moments. They find it fascinating how pictures can tell stories and always try to take photos that have some kind of connection to them. She focuses most on portraiture and capturing her subject’s true personalities. Most of their portraits are of their family and community members. Her work includes vibrant colors but she has recently started experimenting with black and white pictures.
