Mamisi Gordon

Mamisi's passion for documenting the world around her started when 12 years-old. She was quite impressed with herself until her dad’s best friend who was a photographer sat her down and explained that the photo’s she was taking needed a lot of work. She kept shooting and shooting until she developed and critiqued her own personal style of storytelling through photography.

Mamisi’s, ability to capture unique moments, coupled with a refined sense of composition and intimate, romantic style, have earned her a reputation as a sought-after artist whose images delights clients of all types of cultures and genres.

As a portrait/headshot photographer her process is slightly unconventional. During the beginning of a shoot her primary focus is to help her subject get to a place where they lose the need to pose. By acting exercises and telling/ exchanging stories with her subjects her photography sessions are more like open conversations than staged moments. Connecting with the client is her main focus which conveys through the lens.

Mamisi’s has award-winning photography featured in the Houston Public Library;The Reflections of Study Abroad contest 2012. Photo credits: AFARNEWS.com and Houston Press.
