selena sharpless nyc food photographer

Selena Sharpless is a Photographer & Creative Director crafting positive escapes through food, art & creative expression…

I’ve framed the experiences of my life through a series of positive escapes. Seeking and creating a form of hope & nostalgia even in the imperfect dark edges of our past and struggles.

Distressed wood, deep contrasts and rough textures...I find beauty in things that hold this kind of history because it’s real and it’s raw. Like the way the sun hits an old building at sunrise.

A soft light that’s contrasted by the dark shadows and chipped architecture beneath. My work embodies this contrasted comfort.
