Rhombie Sandoval is a photographer and storyteller currently residing in Southern California. Her entry into photography started after receiving a camera as a gift from the Make A Wish Foundation, a gesture arranged on her behalf due to being born with heart disease. With the camera, Sandoval realized she could navigate her shyness and connect with people using the camera as a tool to understand various vantage points, searching for and highlighting the common themes linked to one’s identity and location. Sandoval received her BFA in Photography and Imaging from ArtCenter College of Design. She is also the founder of Anywhere Blvd, a platform which features portrait photographers by promoting the narratives of their subjects.

Currently, Sandoval is working on releasing her new body of work ‘King’ shot during her residency in Marrakech, Morocco as a member of The Queens Collective.

Please RSVP to receive a Zoom link the day of the event.
This virtual speaker event with Rhombie Sandoval is co-sponsored by ArtCenter Admissions, the Center for Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI), and the Photography and Imaging Department.
