Yensa Werth | Mélange Travel & Lifestyle Magazine
Yensa Werth was born and raised in Antigua & Barbuda, a small island chain in the Lesser Antilles of the Caribbean. Home is where her love for nature first blossomed, along with her appreciation for different cultures around the world. The first time she was given the opportunity to capture her adventures through a professional lens was at the age of 13, when her father entrusted her with his Canon DSLR camera during a family trip to Europe. From closeup macros of plants, to sunset landscapes, the use of natural light came as an instinct and she became obsessed with the art of photography. After years of dedication and with the support of her family, she moved to the United States to pursue a degree . After spending 5 years in Santa Barbara, California, Yensa fulfilled her goal by receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Professional Photography from Brooks Institute. She currently works for a professional photography-lab and plans to transition back home in 2017 to start her own full-time photography business in the Caribbean.
