Malia Prietto is a graduating senior majoring in Psychology and Photography.
"My photographs stem from an interest in people and their story. I photograph portraits, focusing on each individual and their unique identity and personality. I often draw from my studies as a psychology student for new ideas and inspiration. I like to explore the way in which people change when they encounter new experiences throughout their life. I try to express the emotions that come with these new experiences."
