Hester Mitrani Esquenazi, known professionally as hester, blends artistic vision, technical skill, and interdisciplinary exploration. From commercial photography in Colombia to conceptual art in Miami, her journey reflects a relentless drive to push the boundaries of photography.

Educated at Northeastern University, Parsons School of Design, and the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, hester merges her backgrounds in electrical engineering, architecture, and art history into her work. This multidisciplinary foundation gives her photography a depth that invites viewers to explore the interplay of thought, perception, and emotion within urban landscapes.

From her earliest series "Concrete Perspective" (2012) to "Traces of Perception" (2014) and most recently "Architecture Ephémérè (2024)", hester's work challenges viewers to reconsider the spaces they inhabit, transforming mundane structures into subjects of contemplation. Through her lens, the physical environment becomes a gateway to introspection.

Beyond her art, hester actively supports the creative community, mentoring aspiring artists and serving as an active docent at the Perez Art Museum. She has been exhibited in solo shows in Miami, Art Wynwood, Pinta Miami, LA Art, and in Tylosand with Tres Hombres Arts, as well as consecutive solo shows at Arles Rencontres de la Photographie in 2022, 2023, and 2024. Her recent exhibitions in Sweden and France have showcased her work globally, affirming her place in conceptual photography.

hester's photography encourages us to see the unseen and appreciate the link between art and science, bridging the two cultures.
