Isabelle Ribeiro was born and raised in Brazil. After nearly ten years living in Florida, where she got her B.A. in Arts from the University of Central Florida, she now resides in São Paulo. A lover of music and arts, she is also a foodie, and uses photography as a way of expressing herself and bringing out the best in her subjects. Through constant research for new techniques and attention to lighting, composition, and detail, she is always looking for new and creative ways to bring uniqueness into her portrait and food photography.
Her conceptual photographs of resin ball-jointed dolls have also been a huge part of her photography and have been exhibited nationally in galleries and juried exhibits. She aims to use her images to please the eyes as well as question emotions and inspire reaction.
Disclaimer: Isabelle does not sculpt her dolls. She is a collector, and a true admirer of the skills necessary to sculpt and create them. Collecting and photographing these dolls is how she artistically expresses herself, and she takes a lot of pride in how long it takes her to set up a shot and the amount of work put into every photograph, from lighting to composition. However, she wants to make it clear that she is in no way affiliated with the manufacturers. If you are interested in purchasing or researching the dolls, please visit the Volks and Unidoll websites, which are where the dolls originate from.
