I’m Brinsley, NYC-based Fashion and Beauty Photographer/Director, and I want to challenge beauty’s place in your life. 

Beauty lies in the unique qualities that set each individual apart. From nuanced photo direction to the distinct features of my models, I amplify the unique.

Beauty products aren’t cover-ups for insecurities, they’re tools to discover yourself. Personal style is not about conforming to societal standards, it’s a medium for the radical, empowering act of self-expression.

For years, I photographed others while hiding from the camera myself, feeling disconnected from the beauty I was capturing. I perpetuated standards rather than challenged them and directly felt their toxic effects. Compared to the talent I was shooting, I didn’t feel “pretty enough” to engage with makeup. 

I knew my work had to aim higher than just adding to the endless stream of aspirational imagery. When I shifted my focus to reflecting the unique beauty of others back at them, I began to see beauty in myself too.

Beauty exists in everything and everyone. Let me show you.
