PHOTOGRAPHER/DIRECTOR
New York & Los Angeles
“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 Los Angeles. 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, fine art nudes, and street photography. 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.
Hope to talk to you soon. Thanks for visiting!
