Essentially self-taught, Quintana has studied with some of the world'smost important and influential photographers, such as Mary Ellen Mark,Shelby Lee Adams, and Graciela Iturbide from Mexico.Quintana works solely in black-and-white and uses only available light.She creates dark, rich, masterful photographs with an ageless, classicpurity.
