Adriana Prato is a Venezuelan-Canadian documentary photographer based in Yorktown, Virginia. Originally trained as an architect, she brings a heightened awareness of space, structure, light, and geometry to her photographic practice.


Having lived in Venezuela, Canada, Chile, and the United States, her work is shaped by movement and by the experience of learning to inhabit unfamiliar places. She photographs everyday life and the relationship between people and the built environment, searching for moments of ambiguity, tension, and quiet strangeness within the ordinary.


Her long-term project, My Suburbia (2020–2026), explores suburban Virginia as both a physical landscape and an emotional territory. The project reflects on belonging, displacement, and how our internal state can transform the way we perceive a place. My Suburbia is currently being developed as her first photobook.
