Renée Skaf — Capturing moments as they are

My style is all about capturing people in their natural way of being, no forced poses, no artificial setups. I love photographing how my subjects exist and interact with their surroundings, finding beauty in authentic moments and genuine connections.

I'm drawn to the depth of environments and how human subjects exist within their realm. Whether it's a couple walking through NYC streets, an artist in their creative space in DC, or strangers living their lives in distant cities, I focus on the relationship between people and the world around them.

I am a solo freelance photographer based in Washington DC and always out and about. I have worked with local artists to bring their vision to life, and I have exhibited and auctioned my work at modern pop up galleries.

My camera travels with me everywhere, building a collection of street photography and real moments from around the world. No studio, no big production, just authentic storytelling through images. I bring a relaxed, personal approach to every session. I handle everything myself from shooting to editing in Lightroom keeping the process simple and the results genuine.
