I'm Mishawn Simms, a passionate photographer based in the vibrant city of Los Angeles. My journey into the world of photography has been anything but linear, shaped by diverse experiences and a relentless pursuit of creativity.
My Story
My path to photography was a winding one, filled with various careers that each played a role in shaping who I am today. From starting a personal training company to exploring real estate and working as a middle school counselor, I sought fulfillment in many forms. Yet, something was always missing—a deeper connection to my true calling. It wasn’t until I picked up a camera that I discovered the profound joy that comes from capturing the world around me. Photography isn’t just a profession for me; it’s a way of life. It grounds me in the present, allowing me to see the extraordinary beauty in everyday moments. More than anything, it’s a medium through which I help people preserve their most cherished memories and create unforgettable experiences.
My Approach
What sets my photography apart is more than just technical skill—it’s my ability to truly connect with my subjects. Whether I'm capturing a close-up portrait or a candid street scene, I focus on discovering the essence of each person or moment. My background in motivational interviewing, active listening, and patience allows me to create images that reflect the true spirit of the moment.
My Style
In my work, I emphasize rich, deep tones and clean compositions to ensure that the subject always remains at the heart of the story. When you look at my photographs, I want you to feel the same happiness and wonder that I experience when creating them.
Every click of the shutter is a step on a journey through the beauty and wonder of life. I look forward to sharing these moments with you and helping to tell your unique story through the lens of my camera.
Thank you for visiting.
Warm regards,
Mish
