How it Gets Done

Erica Génécé will talk about her process from inspiration to final photo. “Every photographer works differently and is inspired in different ways and by different things.” She will take us through several shoots, describing the steps followed and challenges faced, from pre to post-production, and highlighting key elements of a successful shoot.

Erica is a New York City – based photographer and filmmaker whose focus is in celebrating people and cultures that might not have always been given the platform to express themselves. Deeply inspired by her Haitian heritage and the African Diaspora, she loves bringing strength, empowerment, and regality back to those groups
through photographs and film. Génécé mixes her knowledge of history with a modern-day sensibility to produce a new and eclectic style. As the granddaughter of a seamstress, she has a great appreciation for fashion, and learned the importance of being detail-oriented at a young age.
