Hailing from a long line of creatives and businesswomen, it seemed gifted by the stars that a new elective in photography was created at my all-girls school in Cadiz and I was the first one to sign in. It was here that I, Leticia Ortiz fell in love with the “game of lights”. I went on to study photography in college where I earned a B.A. degree in advertising and public relations in Madrid and worked in graphic design.

Throughout my years of studying and practicing photography, I’ve come to realize it is an intentional process of seeking my own path for peace, calm, and truth (or higher awareness?) When I shoot, I am completely in the moment, without thought or attention to intellect. A Reiki Master healer and breath work meditation practitioner SKY (Sudarshan Kriya Yoga), I have merged my skills in spiritual development with my technical skills in photography to bring forth healing, balance, and growth. I created this body of work featuring the five elements as a means of my own evolvement and realized I can bring this gift on a very personal level to my collectors as well. As I photograph each of the elements, I focus on the energy of that element so that when it graces a home, that energy is captured and imbued throughout the space.

My work is owned by private Los Angeles collectors and is available for purchase and exhibition in galleries, wellness centers, corporate offices, and perhaps soon, your living and/or workspace…
