Hi, I’m Breyona Holt! I’m a photographer, director, and multidisciplinary creative originally from the Southside of Atlanta, Georgia, currently based in Brooklyn, New York. My journey as an artist has been anything but linear, but I think that’s what makes it so special. I’ve always been drawn to storytelling, particularly the way a single image can evoke emotion, preserve a moment, or communicate something that words simply cannot. Photography became my way of understanding the world around me and, in many ways, understanding myself. I began my creative journey in Atlanta, where I developed my foundation and curiosity for image-making. Eventually, that curiosity led me to Los Angeles, where I spent eight years building my career, refining my visual language, and discovering what it truly meant to be an artist. Those years were incredibly transformative. I had the opportunity to collaborate with some amazing people, photograph influential cultural figures, and create work for brands.

My curiosity for storytelling began during my childhood. I was always creating something, finding different ways to express myself and explore my imagination. Creativity came naturally to me, even before I fully understood what it meant to be an artist. Whether it was through visual expression or simply bringing an idea to life, I always felt the need to create. As I grew older, that curiosity evolved into a deeper appreciation for storytelling and the power of imagery. Photography eventually became the medium that allowed me to turn my imagination into something tangible and share the way I see the world with others.

What drives me is the ability to make people feel something through my work. There’s something special about creating an image that can evoke emotion, spark conversation, or make someone feel seen and understood. I’m deeply inspired by people, their stories, and the beauty found in everyday life. My curiosity constantly pushes me to explore new perspectives and evolve creatively. What makes photography so meaningful to me is its ability to preserve moments, culture, and history long after they’ve passed.

What I love most is the freedom to create, connect with people, and bring ideas to life. Every project offers an opportunity to explore something new, tell a different story, and see the world through a fresh perspective. I love that my work allows me to turn imagination into something tangible that people can connect with.

I have created with Kerry Washington, Ella Mai, and Halle Bailey. I would love to create with Rihanna, Denzel Washington, and Solange. 📸
