Portrait, Landscape, and Studio Photographer

Valentina DeClaire is a student photographer based in the Gilbert/Mesa, Arizona area. As the co-President of her school's photo club (Capture Crew) and volunteer photographer for the Highland Cross Country team, she pursues her passion for photography through a multitude of genres including: portraiture, events, wildlife, landscapes, sports, etc.

Her love for visual arts has landed her over 200 hours in the editing room spent perfecting her craft, with four years of experience to her name. Although portraiture is her primary focus, she enjoys chasing sunsets and waking up at the crack of dawn to explore vast landscapes and all that nature has to offer.

When she’s not behind the camera, Valentina captains Highland High’s Cross Country and Track and Field teams, leads National Honors Society and Extra Mile Key Club (two volunteer-based clubs) as President, and enjoys reading.
