ENTERING THE CHAT.

Hi! I’m Areca.

I am a 2nd Assistant Camera and creator originally from the Island of Trinidad. I moved to the United States at age 17 and am on a mission to live my best life in Los Angeles, CA. After serving as a photojournalist, public affairs specialist, and social media manager for the U.S. Air and Space Forces, I'm using my passion and talents to contribute to productions, create self-portraits, and explore international travel destinations and my backyard. I hope this website is a source of inspiration, no matter what you create. xx

Content creation … it’s what I do.

Self-Portraits

Moving past the traditional selfie, I aim to create editorial portraits of myself.

Travel

Whether its a foreign land or my local area, there’s so much to see and explore.

EMPOWERING MYSELF EVERYDAY.

I decided to make self-portraits because I wanted images of myself where I felt glamorous, fashionable and sexy.
