Djeneba Aduayom

Djeneba, a creative photographer and artist based right outside of LA, cites inspiration from her French, Italian, and African cultural heritage. "My career is more of a journey and a life process than a goal in itself. Essentially, I want to achieve a meaningful connection with anyone that I cross paths with and elevate ideas and emotions through visual poetry," she told POPSUGAR.

Past Work: Vogue, The Cut, TIME, i-D, Billboard, and Hypebeast. View her portfolio here.

Current Mission: "Since the quarantine, I have been working on an ongoing series of self portraits using what is available around me, which has created a way of 'transportation' to an 'elsewhere' that exists inside my mind. The process and resulting images are directly linked to the various emotions I've been experiencing and have provided a form of meditation for me. I am a female artist who comes from a multi-cultural background and identifies as a POC. Those of us from marginalised communities deserve to be heard and art has the capacity to impact the hearts and minds of people to bring about positive change."
