Emily Cotto has been in the photography industry since 2015. Born and raised here in Chicago, Illinois, Emily's passion for photography was introduced by social media and traveling to places throughout the years. The types of the photography she does are mainly commercial but has side interests in portrait, travel, and nature. Food photography has become one of her interests lately. After graduating at Columbia Chicago, Emily will find her passion for photography more by finding a commercial career for her and working with a food company. Freelance on the side and traveling more is also the plan. "To me, commercial photography is important because it allows me to showcase these products in the best possible way with lighting, color, and being able to highlight the features, detail, and an overall unique point of view".
