My name is Penelope Arias. I am originally from the North of Spain. I have been journaling constantly since I left my country in 2019.

I have always been passionate about photography and videography, I believe it is the most beautiful way to capture moments and make them eternal.

Since I was a little girl I dreamed of having my first camera. I spent years using my mum’s phone to take photos and capture the moments that caught my attention, until my parents gave me the most special gift I’ve ever received. (Thank you again for always embracing my dreams and pushing me to do everything from the other side of the world).

In 2019 I discovered that travelling, meeting people, understanding other cultures and photographing the simplest moments in life makes me appreciate and observe everything differently.

Australia has helped me to understand the beauty of the smallest things, like the morning light, the sound of the waves and the smile of a stranger.

My father used to say that I have always had my head in the clouds…

Dad, maybe you are right. But I believe the world is so immense, and the time is so limited, that we should not get used to saying “no” very often. So here I am again, why not?

Get in touch if you would like to create something together and share ideas. I am always open for new adventures.
