Vanessa Solis is a Photographer based in Oakland, CA and is always open to travel.

Always having been an East Bay lady born and raised, I have called Oakland home for over 10 years. I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, back in 2010. I worked in the corporate world as an in-house photographer. Though I was grateful for the opportunity, it was never for me. After 7 years in that position, an opportunity presented itself where I could finally get to be on my own.

There are many subjects that I love to photograph. Music has always played an important role in my life and photographing live shows is one of my favorites. I still love to delve into other subjects like cocktails, still life, and product. When I am not working, I volunteer some of my time to the local cat cafe.
