Zila Longenecker Photography

Hello, thanks for visiting my website! I am a freelance, on location, natural light photographer based in Flagstaff - Arizona. I am originally from Brazil and I’ve lived in Arizona with my husband and our two beautiful children since 2002.

My love for photography started at the age of 13 when my father gifted me with a simple point and shoot camera. In 1994, after finishing my professional degree in early-childhood education, I decided to attend a photography school in Rio de Janeiro where I received training in black and white film, lab and studio.

I believe my photographs are an expression of who I am as a person. I love vibrant colors, bright and honest images. I also enjoy black and white photography and a photojournalistic approach to portraits.

I am interested in editorial and commercial assignments, wholesale orders, interior design inquiries, comissions, and gallery representation.

My photographs were published in these magazines: Easy Living - UK (April 2010), Toffee Magazine (November 2010) and Popular Photography Magazine (March 2004).
