Hi Zhané, thanks for joining us today. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?

As a photographer, the legacy I hope to build revolves around the ability to evoke emotions and provoke thought through my images. I aspire to create a body of work that not only captures moments but also tells stories that resonate with people on a deeper level. I want to be remembered for my unique perspective, my dedication to my craft, and my commitment to authenticity in every shot.

I hope that people will say I had an eye for beauty in the ordinary and that I could highlight the extraordinary in everyday life. I want my work to inspire others to see the world differently, to appreciate the fleeting moments, and to find connection in shared experiences.

Ultimately, I hope to be remembered as someone who not only captured images but also fostered a sense of community and dialogue through photography. My legacy would be one of creativity, compassion, and a genuine passion for storytelling through the lens.

Zhané, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I’m a vintage photographer with a deep love for storytelling through visual imagery. My journey into photography began a year ago, sparked by expressing my emotions in a single image and convey emotions that words sometimes cannot express.

I got my first camera April 2023, and it quickly became my constant companion. I started by photographing my surroundings—landscapes, family gatherings, and everyday life. The more I shot, the more I realized the power of photography to document life and evoke feelings.

As a vintage photographer, I capture candid moments that reflect daily life in a vintage style, focusing on authenticity and storytelling. This can involve documenting events, gatherings, or simply everyday photo scenes with a nostalgic feel.

I prioritize creating personalized experiences for clients. I take the time to understand their vision and incorporate their personal stories into the shoots, ensuring that each session is unique and meaningful. This collaborative approach helps clients feel more engaged and connected to the final images. Above all, I aim to create images that evoke emotion. I believe that a successful photograph has the power to stir feelings and memories, and this focus on emotional resonance is a hallmark of my work.

Im passionate about storytelling through my photography. I take pride in my ability to capture narratives within a single frame,This approach allows me to connect with viewers on a deeper level, encouraging them to engage with the images and reflect on their own experiences. I find immense pride in the positive feedback I receive from people. Hearing how my work has resonated with them, whether through a memorable portrait session or a cherished family photo, reinforces my passion for vintage photography and motivates me to continue creating. Overall, my pride as a vintage photographer comes from the connections I make with my subjects, the stories I tell through my images, and the impact my work has on those who view it. These elements drive my passion and commitment to the craft.

Each photograph I take is more than just an image; it’s a narrative. I believe that every photo tells a story. I want my followers to see the layers of meaning behind each shot. Ultimately, I want my work to resonate emotionally with viewers. I strive to create images that inspire reflection, and encourage people to connect with their own memories and experiences.

By following my journey as a vintage photographer, I hope to share not just my images but also the stories, techniques, and passion that drive my work.

For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect of being a creative is the ability to express oneself and connect with others through that expression. It provides an outlet to convey thoughts, emotions, and ideas that might be difficult to communicate through words alone. This process of creating something original is profoundly fulfilling to me.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

my creative journey is driven by a mission to connect, inspire through storytelling, all while celebrating authenticity and preserving memories. I hope that my work can foster understanding and appreciation for the rich tapestry of human experiences and encourage others to express their own unique narratives.
