About
Hi, I’m DaShaun Kennie, a New York-based photographer and creative director who founded Lael Lenses Photography. I’ve photographed 50+ high-profile live events, including NYFW '25, NY Comic Con, and Bad Bunny x Up NYC, and I design custom logos and graphics for brand events while shaping social media amplification. I love crafting visual stories from concept to delivery, and I relish building post-production workflows that ensure top-tier results.
When I’m not behind the camera, I enjoy running, Muay Thai, and travel, and I’m always exploring new ways to help brands tell compelling stories through imagery and design.
