Zila was born and raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and currently lives in Arizona with her husband, 2 little boys and 3 cats. Her interest in photography began when her father gave her a simple Kodak camera she says it was love at first sight!! Zila is inspired by colors, nature, childhood and sunny days. She loves flowers, macros (close-up photos), landscape, still-life and also enjoys manipulating some of her photos with textures and imagination.
