Yorli Mendoza
Born in Caracas, Venezuela
Lives & works in London, UK
I'm Yorli, a Venezuelan-born, London-based Photographer and Visual Artist behind the Creative Studio called Integration. Integration is the word that defines my work as a photographer and visual artist as I constantly seek to connect, merge and incorporate different disciplines, media, styles, processes and working methods in the creation of projects and images to create conscious content and forged new artistic languages and methods capable of examining the way we shape, perceive, and feel about the world around us; inviting reflection and introspection, thus creating an experience between the viewer and the work.
I am particularly interested in those things that are intangible and elusive, that cannot be perceived easily by the eye, but can be felt, evoked, and transformed into something visible and palpable through tangible, physical attributes using photography in combination with other methods.
I am inspired by nature, in the way it develops, in the soft colours of the dawn, in the warm colours of the sunset, in its lights and its shadows; that reflect our own lights and our shadows.
Having begun my further education in Sociology, but naturally using the camera to visualize and document people in the context of their own environment, a passion for merging methods of social research and photography was born.
After years of dedicating myself to documentary photography, I decided to merge my more artistic eye with commercial photography. And so, Integration was born, a creative and visual content studio
