In Her Element: Shadra Strickland

An award-winning illustrator, author, and Chair of the Illustration Department at MICA, Shadra Strickland’s branding session centered on capturing the artist within her own creative environment.

Photographed in her home studio and office, the session used natural light and thoughtful pre-production to create a versatile collection of imagery that reflects Shadra’s personality, creative practice, and professional identity. A range of visual styles and compositions gave her a cohesive yet dynamic library of photographs for use across marketing platforms, publications, and professional materials.
