Evelyn's Story My name is Evelyn Alvarez. I have been doing photography for about 5 years now; its become my true passion. I love every part of it--from the processing to the development of the photographs. My main focus is children and their environment. I love showing people the expression of children in different environments. I also love shooting portraits as well as capturing the moments least expected. Curated by Venice Arts | Items: 16
