Fabiola Lopez is a Latina photographer from Los Angeles, CA, whose work is rooted in connection and authenticity. She uses photography to explore vulnerability—both her own and that of her subjects—creating space for meaningful human connection. For Fabiola, photography is more than an art form; it’s a personal outlet and a way to engage with others' stories while reflecting on her own. It’s how she exists within her community, honoring important moments and making vulnerability a shared experience. Fascinated by human connection, she approaches each project with the goal of capturing people in their most authentic state—the way they relate, carry themselves, and express emotion. Unlike the “fly on the wall” approach many photographers take, Fabiola believes the best portraits come from being fully present and engaged. To her, "taking up space" means entering every photo session with confidence, intention, and purpose. By approaching her subjects with empathy, understanding, and authenticity, she fosters a collaborative experience where photographer and subject create together. As she continues to evolve as an artist and professional, Fabiola strives to form deeper connections and create work that is transformative for herself, her subjects, and her viewers.
