Artist Profile

Yoanna Dias is an all-in-one architecture and hospitality photographer, specializing in architectural exteriors, interior design, lifestyle, and food for hotels and resorts.

Dias Studio LLC, founded by Yoanna and her partner and Managing Director Calvin Dias, has offices in Dubai and Europe; offering photography and videography productions.

Yoanna is part of a select group of approved photographers for Accor, Marriott International, and IHG, had also worked with other hospitality brands.

My work as a photographer centers on the intangible mood of a structure. I am fascinated by how light interacts with shape to define our physical presence within an environment. While an image records a visual layout, my objective is to translate the actual sensation of being there. It is about the way a room affects the senses—stirring a memory or unlocking a hidden emotion.

With over 20 years of experience, my portfolio demonstrates a commitment to explore the essence of architecture and hospitality following her artistic intuition, simplicity and meticulous eye for detail, technical skills and hotel / marketing insights.

In personal level, knowing that I have created something beautiful and enduring is all that matters. Artist by heart, I create legacy.

"Awesome shoot! From brainstorming to execution, Yoanna and Calvin were motivated, creative and supportive to our needs. Professional and savvy, I look forward to more shoots together."

"Being in the hospitality industry, I've been working with Yoanna and Dias Studio for the past 12 months. They are very professional and creative in every aspect. I would definitely recommend them for your next photoshoot!

"I have had the pleasure of working with Yoanna on multiple projects during my tenure at Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts and I have only great things to say about her. It is a pleasure relaying my vision to her and watching it come to life without fail. More often than not, what you get back from her exceeds your expectations, and what's more is that her delivery time, even during peak season is ridiculously great. If she gets any more efficient, you will receive your project before you even brief it in! On a serious note, loanna has a great eye, she notices beauty in things that we tend to casually overlook. Having her on your project brings ease of mind, as you simply trust that your end product is going to be a good one.

"I had the pleasure to work with Yoanna for more than two years, always shown her full support to my team and myself. Her dedication to perfection and details is commendable as well as her versatility. She is very creative, proactive, eager to share her ideas and feedback. She is a good listener, which allows her to understand her client's requests. I hope that I will have the chance to work with her again.

"I consider myself privileged to have worked with Yoanna who has been always great support. Running sales and marketing of two luxury hotels requires top nudge representation, which loanna ensured with her creativity and utmost attention to details to reflect the brand image of both exclusive properties. I can't thank her enough for her professionalism and always accommodating last-minute requests. I've been always very impressed about the speed of completing jobs, which she excelled besides the quality outcome of her work."
