BITW 127: Travel & Food Blogger Workshop with Photographer Cintia Soto

My guest today is Cintia Soto, an accountant turned pro food and travel photographer. Cintia is from Mazatlan, Mexico, lived in Italy for almost 10 years and while living there she became inspired by art in all aspects and began her journey to teach herself photography. Today she lives in San Diego and Italy while traveling regularly to Mexico and Central America. She is a passionate food and travel photographer that loves telling stories with images. She sees the world in light, shapes, and colors & her memories are visual… so you can bet there is a Cannon camera close by at all times. Her images have appeared in many magazines like Vogue Mexico, Travel + Leisure, cosmopolitan Italy and the NY Times destinations section.

She has been commissioned as the official photographer for a cookbook featuring 26 Female Mexicana chefs. She has also photographed numerous award winning chefs from Mexico and the United states.
