Adriana Escalante Photography

A full day in the life: arrive in town, get the work done, then a little shopping therapy. Repeat. ✈️💼🛍️

Balance is everything!

It was such a pleasure working with Catalina—from the planning and wardrobe decisions to her sweet personality, funny comments, and even the late-night WhatsApp messages.

It was a long day of shooting, multiple looks and scenes, but days like these are always worth it when you're surrounded by a great team and have the opportunity to photograph such a beautiful human being while helping her build and elevate her portfolio.

The beauty industry has spent decades telling women their best years are behind them. I disagree.

Janelle proves that beauty is never defined by age, but by the way someone carries themselves.

A timeless shot focused on softness, natural texture, and refined simplicity.

Feeling truly honored to have been interviewed by L'Officiel India and to share more about my journey, creative process, and what inspires my work behind the camera.

In the interview, we talked about how my background in dance has influenced the way I direct movement and emotion in my photography, but also how my academic background in business and entrepreneurship has shaped the way I approach creativity, leadership, production, and the overall client experience.

It was such a thoughtful conversation, and I’m incredibly grateful to the team at L’Officiel India for the feature and for giving me the opportunity to share a little more about the person behind the work. 🤍

Thank you to Sini and Angela for your amazing talent and inspiration. Forever grateful!

This image came together around contrast—softness in styling, strength in structure. This is one of the looks from a fashion editorial we recently had.

What I love about this image and why I chose this location is that the architectural lines of the space weren’t just a backdrop; they shaped the composition, adding clarity and direction to the frame.

That balance—between environment, styling, and subject—is always intentional. It’s what transforms a photo into something that feels refined and aligned with a brand’s visual identity.

As always this shot was made possible by the amazing talent of the following creative team - thank you all!

Sometimes what we need is quiet power. And, if we combine it with soft elegance, we create a presence that does not need to ask for attention.
With the team, we created this beautiful images that feels calm, poised, and deeply refined—full of grace, femininity, and quiet confidence. The kind of beauty that speaks in a subtle but unforgettable way.

Thank you to the amazing team behind this image, I can't thank you enough for your amazing work. Bravo to you!

One of my all-time favorite images with Ellie Christiansen from our resort lifestyle shoot in Mexico.

I love it because it is bold, sensual, cinematic—full of freedom, confidence, and allure. I think, Ellie and I made a great team on this one.

How would you describe this image or what feeling evoke for you?
