Photographer Inspiration - Payton McIntyre

My photographer of choice of whom inspired me this six weeks was, Payton McIntyre, a 

talented and radiant friend of mine. I met Payton in my second year of this photography 

class, and im lucky to have had the privilege to be introduced to different artists and styles 

my senior year. I've had an appreciation of her style of works of which are art, made to 

make you feel something. Her works are fun and visually aesthetic to young viewers. 

Several of my favorite shoots were of people, their faces and 

features were made exaggerated, and a selection of other photos, were made of vibrant 

colors and dark contrasts. One of her more captivating shoots was her distortion shoot with 

dark contrasts, It gave a fresh expression to certain features of the face and placed them on 

different people in a way that was odd but at most, creative. In another shoot, her use of 

vibrant patterns projected onto her models, created definition and vibrate contrasts. Her 

other photo shoot with the use of lightbox, she used ice and food coloring to make vibrant 

pictures that looked so surreal. Angsty teens are her specialty and she makes them pieces of 

art. 

In seeing her recent photos of our friend's senior portraits, I paid her to take my senior 

photos and she did an amazing job, I was so impressed with the results for this being out of


her comfort zone. she was really fun to work with and she made the process so easy. 

I admire how she challenges herself in everything she does and her works are displayed 

flawless.   

Payton dear, you definitely have a bright future ahead of you no matter what you choose to 

aspire.
