Joelle Soraya Batista Iseli is a young talented photographer who has been awarded an Honorable Mention in the 2019 and 2020 International Photography Awards. She was also invited to attend the IPA Lucie Awards Gala at the Carnegie Hall in New York City back in October 2019. The IPA Lucie Awards is one of the world’s most prestigious international photography awards competition.
Her burning passion for photography has always been Cultural Identity. Self-taught for over a decade, she has lived in 12 countries out of the 25 she has traveled to thus far. Her international background and upbringing has enabled her to be open-minded and connect deeply with an array of cultures and their heritage.
She is eager to learn and step out of her comfort zone. She strives to travel the world whenever possible, witness unique cultural events and meet remarkable people along the way who are willing to share their stories and have a zest for doing things outside of societal norms. Her aim is to have her work exhibited one day at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City.
