Sheilby Macena
Oakland, CA, USA
Hi, my name is Sheilby and I'm a first-gen Haitian-American photographer based in Oakland, CA.
Born and raised in Orlando, Florida, I attended University of Central Florida for 3 semesters before transferring to St. John's University in Queens, New York to finish my studies. In Spring 2019, I graduated with a Bachelors in Public Relations and accepted a job in San Francisco.
With a new move to the West Coast, I revisited an old interest of mine and picked up a new camera in the beginning of 2020. It became my escape and creative outlet as I transition into life after college.
2020 showed me some of the spaces in photography I can grow in such as studio work, documentary, and street. I hope to continue to explore, develop my style and work with creatives and brands.
