Hi, I’m Deanna!

I’m a photographer who lives in South Euclid, Ohio. I specialize in capturing the essence of people at open mic nights and other creative gatherings. Using immersive photography techniques, I capture the energy, power, and unique personality of every artist I photograph. My photos have appeared in Cleveland Magazine and Freshwater Cleveland.

I currently serve as the Creative Director of Unbarrd Open Mic, located at Unbar Cafe on Larchmere. Last year, I collaborated with Poetry Unplugged to photograph their Friendsgiving event and was honored as the first recipient of the Caribe Legacy Award. This award recognizes individuals who embody dedication, bravery, and artistic brilliance while uplifting their community through artistry and service.

With almost two years of photography experience, I am passionate about documenting Cleveland's vibrant creative community and celebrating the power of human connection through my lens.
