Hi, I'm Emma!
I’m a film photographer and the founder of Main Character Moments. I started photographing in college, capturing my friends on our nights out. They were a group of extraordinary, talented characters, and every photo felt like a scene from their own film. That’s where Main Character Moments came from: the idea that everyone deserves to be seen as the lead in their own story.
Since then, I’ve shot runway shows for Chloé and Conner Ives, photographed Met Gala get-ready moments, collaborated regularly with ShopMy, and had my work featured in the Financial Times. Portraits are at the heart of what I do, whether I’m capturing guests at an event or working with someone one-on-one. I’m based in New York City and always happy to travel.
I also write The BTS Edit, a behind-the-scenes blog about the people and places I photograph. It’s where I share the stories behind my favorite frames, the unexpected moments along the way, and what draws me to the people in front of my lens. Subscribe to my newsletter for the most up to date posts!
