About Artist

Seleen Saleh

As a NYC photographer I am passionate about representation. In my teen years I came across the 1990’s black and white British Vogue magazine cover, featuring Naomi Campbell and the rest of the supermodels. It was so empowering to see someone who looked like me on a cover. It was at that moment, I realized the power of imagery. I believe in using photography to help build connections to inspire others to love, embrace and support the wide range of beauty you will find in my work.
