About Me
I'm Avotra Rakotoson, a professional photographer based in New York City with over 12 years of experience capturing life's most precious moments. My journey began with a borrowed film camera and an insatiable curiosity for the interplay of light and shadow.
Today, I work with clients ranging from couples celebrating their love to brands seeking authentic visual storytelling. My approach combines technical precision with artistic intuition, ensuring every photograph resonates with genuine emotion.
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll find me exploring hidden trails, experimenting with analog photography, or teaching workshops to aspiring photographers.
