Dennis Ariza Biography
 
Dennis Ariza’s interest in photography began in a biology class in 1968 when his instructor showed him how to photograph slides through a microscope. His career began with a wide variety of interests such as wedding photography, family and graduation portraiture, and anything that was outdoors. Ariza is a three-time graduate of the New York Institute of Photography and has studied digital photography at Solano Community College.
