CREATIVE DIRECTOR AND PHOTOGRAPHER
I AM JASMINE SHANTE AND HERE’S MY STORY
I picked up a camera 12 years ago and I haven’t stop shooting since. I spent the first few years of my career learning behind the scenes; from an amazing fashion photographer by the name of Marcus Ezell. I worked as a photographers assistant and later as a digital tech. Once I gained more knowledge in the craft I began developing my hands on skills as a photographer and building my personal portfolio. I Creative Direct my own shoots from start to finish. After building my portfolio I received the call that changed everything. I was asked to join the photography team of a large fashion brand. This is where I really fine tuned my skill set.Working in a corporate creative setting allowed me to develop more skills in efficiencies and processes.
Fast forward to 2020 I lost my dream job and had to find another way to continue my career as a creative. This is where “The Que Studio” was born. August of 2021 I decided to open up a photography studio in Columbus Ohio, where other photographer can rent create just as I did. I am still growing my studio and plan to open more in the near future. Designing the set and creating the best environment for creatives has been a dream. Photography is not only a dream but a gift that has made space for me in more than one way.
