Hi, I am Ingrid Maldonado, the new photo editor for the Northwestern Newspaper. I am also the owner of Ingrid Infinity Photography, where I specialize in capturing beautiful moments through family, senior portrait and branding photography.
I started my photography journey in high school and from there I started taking “aesthetic” photos. Everything I learned was self-taught.
During my senior year of high school many of my classmates asked me to take some of their senior photos, and I absolutely fell in love with portrait photography. I kept getting asked to take senior photos for a few of the next graduation of classes and so on I began doing family photography as well too.
I started out with photos of the sky, flowers, it led me to senior photography, family photography, branding photography and even now some wedding photography.
I am excited to get the experience of being a photo editor as well as capturing some amazing shots for the newspaper. You might see me around campus either taking photos for the newspaper or doing a senior session with a student.
Being raised in Alva, I have always been surrounded by creativity and community, which has helped me shape my love for arts of all kinds, whether that is singing, painting, drawing, playing an instrument or, of course, photography.
I recently got asked to have an exhibit of my photography at the Alva First Friday event downtown, so I love how this town has helped me grow not only in my love for the arts but as well as supporting me.
Come see me and my exhibit at the Runnymede downtown for the Alva First Friday event Sept. 6, 6-8 p.m.
I am pursuing a degree in mass communication, and fun fact, I changed my major from business to mass communication. On my first day here I realized I love social media marketing, video, photography, just communicating with an audience rather than the business side of things. I am happy to be part of something that I enjoy doing as well with other people who have the same interests.
When I am not doing homework, editing photos, posting on social media, emailing clients, or behind my lens, you can find me drinking a matcha or coffee, going thrifting with friends, or reading a good thriller book. If you love any of those things, believe me we could be great friends.
