"If a day goes by without my doing something related to photography, it’s as though I’ve neglected something essential to my existence, as though I had forgotten to wake up. I know that the accident of my being a photographer has made my life possible."
- Richard Avedon
Welcome to the studio!
I hope to make your acquaitance soon. I’m Jamiya, a professional portrait photographer and director based primarily in New York and Miami. In addition to working in the United States, I also travel abroad to create. With frequent visits to Europe, Italy, Japan, and beyond. My photography work ranges from straight portraits to swimwear, beauty, and fine art nudes. As a filmmaker, I both write and direct short and feature-length films across a variety of genres(drama being my favorite). I value simplicity and balanced aesthetics in my work and always seek to capture my subjects in a compelling light.
Have a look at my regularly updated portfolio, read my blog where I share musings on the art of photography and filmmaking, book a private session if you’re an individual or company in need of stellar non-commercial photos, or contact me if you’re a brand preparing your next campaign.
Thanks for visiting. Hope to talk to you soon!
