Layers of Discovery...


Throughout my photography career, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless events and remarkable people in our local community. As an immigrant and a nomad at heart, it’s deeply rewarding to immerse myself in new cultures and witness the vibrant festivals that breathe life into our city. At first glance, Edmonton may seem quiet—but as I’ve come to learn, it’s extraordinary. Beneath the surface lies a tapestry of resilience, celebration, and unity that continues to surprise and inspire me.


At Art & Photography by Diana, I specialize in documentary photography that captures life’s raw, unscripted moments in their purest form. Whether it’s a milestone event, the vibrancy of everyday life, or the stories that make our community unique, my goal is to create authentic, timeless photographs that reflect your journey, emotions, and connections. Through candid imagery, I strive to tell the stories that celebrate the beauty, diversity, and spirit of the world around us—a world I’m so grateful to call home.
