The Lens Between Two Worlds

Cuban-born and Tampa Bay–based, Yahyma Tamayo—known online as @alltruality—carries her camera like a second heartbeat. Moving to the U.S. at age 11, she grew up in Richmond, Virginia, and now juggles a career in business and law with the calling that never lets go: photography.

Her work sweeps from whispered street scenes to intimate floral macro, arresting portraits, and patient wildlife captures—each frame infused with her knack for storytelling. Recognized by LensCulture for striking series like Fauna in Focus, The Proud Peacock, and Single Mother – Second Chance, she’s also made her mark in local contests, including as a finalist in the Pinellas Trail competition for her image Sea Grape.

Tamayo’s 1,100+ Instagram followers know her for her vibrant reels and candid glimpses behind the scenes, mirrored on Threads, where she reveals

the daily sparks that fuel her artistry. Her work has graced regional stages, from HCC’s Gallery221 to community showcases, earning her a place as one of Tampa Bay’s quiet creative forces.

Balancing sharp business acumen with a visual poet’s eye, Yahyma Tamayo is proof that artistry doesn’t ask you to choose—it demands you carry it every-where.
