NICE TO MEET YOU
NICE TO MEET YOU
Hey! I’m Ocean, the photographer and founder behind Salt & Shadow. I fell in love with portrait photography over seven years ago and haven't put the camera down since. Today, I’m proud to say I’ve built a style that’s all about making you look like you — just on your best day, with great lighting and no awkward poses.
I’m currently a student at the University of Central Florida (Go Knights!), and when I'm not photographing amazing grads, you’ll usually find me chefing it up the kitchen, getting the gains in the gym, and teaching other creatives how to shoot through the Photography Committee at the Fashion Society Club. I live and breathe this stuff.
What Makes us Different?
In a world full of photographers offering quick, cookie-cutter sessions, Salt & Shadow is something different. We don’t rush you through awkward poses or copy-and-paste trends. Instead, we focus on creating real, timeless portraits — the kind you’ll still treasure decades from now, when you’re looking back on the moments that shaped you.
Salt & Shadow isn't just a name — it's a philosophy. Like salt in food, the smallest details are what make an image come alive; without them, no amount of editing or posing can create something truly memorable. And while most focus only on light, we embrace the shadows too — because it’s the contrast, the in-between moments, and the unexpected perspectives that bring real stories to life.
If you’re looking for basic, there’s plenty of that out there. If you’re looking for portraits that feel effortless, elevated, and iconic — welcome to Salt & Shadow.
Let’s Make It Happen.
