Tiana is a photographer and creative director based in New York City. She was born in Chicago and was raised traveling back and forth between Memphis, TN and Sierra Leone West Africa. She has a BFA in Dance Performance & Choreography. She began taking photos in 2020, during the pandemic after taking a break from dance immediately after graduating. Much of her inspiration comes from dance artists who blazed unique trails in the industry, such as Pina Bausch. She works with film and digital format and much of her personal work is inspired by things happening in the world around us with an emphasis in feminism, fashion, movement, and things she has dealt with personally as a third culture POC.

Her work has been featured in Forbes, Business Insider, The Hollywood Reporter & The Knot.
