I’m Upasana, a Telugu lens-based artist raised in Los Angeles. This city has been home most of my life, especially Koreatown. Photography has become an entangled part of my working and social identity, a way to document and create. Celebrating Angeleno Life is a group show on view at @hivegalleryphoto until March 28th. I’ve got five framed photographs on display (available for purchase 😋) showcasing moments from across the city between 2021 and 2025. If you wanna know the story behind the shot, checkout my portfolio. www.notyermisso.com/artshows

Have a browse irl if you’re in DTLA this week. There are so many wonderful images from talented photographers in this show and a colorful sea of illustrators to discover within the Hive’s walls. 🐝🍯

Shoutout @piopicolibrary media lab and @angelcitybusinesslab for the resources & support to work and learn, as well as Mrs.Kim at New Gajoo Frame on Olympic.

Need a unique souvenir for the crowd at events? Book me for instant film portraits at the function. A photo that’s instant, but never disposable✨

So excited to be joining @chainsaw.la for her opening night block party, this Sunday afternoon! Can’t wait to snap your lovely faces and celebrate this new chapter with y’all. Portraits can be purchased from me for $15 each. Multiples will be discounted. Venmo/Zelle/Cash is cool.

This service was birthed from a taxing freelancing year and a perpetual camera loan from Ashante. I just fell in love with the black frames and this method of photographing allows me to be both an observer and participant. Thank you to all the willing collaborators so far: my friends, clients, strangers, LAPL and @heritagesquaremuseumlosangeles!! Excited to see how this goes, I saw a rainbow in the sink & found a ladybug in my apartment. 🤞🏾

I can be reached by DM or say hi via email notyermisso@gmail.com | I’m Upasana (Üppi) btw

It was another Friday afternoon…I was making my way to LACMA for Jazz Night. As I was scurrying down the neighborhood to meet the homies…there was a lady in a yellow tank top and green skirt with this macaw on her arm in her driveway. Obviously I had to say hello to these matching divas. This guy is 43 years old 🤯 Had to a snap a quick portrait of the duo.

Y’all let me put you on to a Paiute designer @tayloruchytil as we head into festival season!

I was randomly cruising through orchard street with Val and headed into @tumbao.world for a gorgeous pop-up and learned about a designer and her culture!!

I apologize for the editing, your girl is not media trained and post production is boring. You get my drift.
