EMMA SKEES
Photographer/Assistant/Editor
England-born, Indiana raised, Tennessee schooled, and calling Nevada home, I’m excited to be working with a wide variety of people and backgrounds. Photography for me isn’t just about the beautiful products created but getting to know people and learning in the process. My journey with photography started in the rural farmland of Indiana, and my passion for it led me to pursue my Bachelor’s degree at the Memphis College of Art. Expanding my reach and my interest to learn more, led me to Nevada spending 2 years in the Master’s program at UNLV. The atmosphere and network of wonderfully interesting people have led me to stay put.
I enjoy the connections I have made and will continue to make with my photographic craft. Through assisting, editing, and uploading on the TPM team, I am able to enhance everyone’s experience while always learning. Getting to explore and bring to life the genuine moments of people and their lives is where I get enjoyment. The understanding that I am having a hand in creating an unforgettable moment that lives on for them and theirs.
I find photography is compelling in the way it produces something greater than ourselves. As we, as photographers, have the ability to create history, even if just for one person or family. One frame at a time.
