PEMRYM’S MUSE photography captures your natural shine; delivering memorable portraits & headshots for both personal & business use. Hi, my name is Poen and I am a passionate photographer who loves to engage and captivate your best moment!
It all began when I was 5, asking people to use their phone but little did they know I was on a mission to take the best “selfie” (as this generation likes to call it) of all time, at least to me. I discovered America’s Next Top Model (season 2) and watched it religiously ever since. I was inspired by Nigel Barker a photographer on America’s Next Top Model and wanted so badly to emulate and to find out how to get “the shot”. I went to Graphic Communication Arts where I had taken my first photoshop lessons. Freshman year I majored in Photoshop, sophomore year, I majored in photography and towards my senior year I majored in videography.
I spent a lot of time in high school finding light sources to imitate professional lighting and used my iPhone to get the best photo I possibly could. I asked all of my friends if I could do their makeup and hair to do a “photoshoot”. They really loved the photos! Many people on social media asked me what camera did I use and I simply answered “an iPhone”; they were amazed. I have learned composition and photo editing to a T.
Fast forward, I worked in sales as a stylist luxury retail and when the pandemic hit, I was out of a job. I was in a place where I had to find my next career move. I never stopped taking photos, it was apart of my everyday habit. I assumed it to be just a hobby but then I thought, what if I turned my passion into a career! Ding ding ding, the bell went off in my head. I looked up the best headshot photographer and came across Peter Hurley. I watched his YouTube tutorials, watched his photography critiques with Fstoppers and became intensely passionate again. I studied photography all over again, reading books taking lessons and finally bought my equipment.
I am grateful to have found my passion, turning it into a career to later shoot several fashion shows during New York Fashion Week 2021. I’ve attended many events and met so many amazing people and now pursuing a dream of being an independent woman owning her own business!
Yours Truly, Poen
