Black Fae Day 2023 Photographers: Happy Bubbles Images

We have several photographers coming to our 2023 Black Fae Day meetup next month so have your costumes ready! Next up: Happy Bubbles Images.

Brittney of Happy Bubbles Images started her photography career in preparation for a vacation to Iceland. Once she got her first camera, she was hooked and there was no going back. The bulk of her photography is landscape/cityscape documenting her travels with her son. Her goal is to encourage more BIPOC to get outdoors and connect with nature and find their peace within it as she has.

Black Fae Day 2023 Photographers: NyteVisions Photography

We have several photographers coming to our 2023 Black Fae Day meetup next month so have your costumes ready! First up: Nyte of NyteVisions Media.

Nyte has been taking great photographs since 2007. Based in Cincinnati, he’s taken photos in most genres, but specializes in portraiture. He enjoys making fun and creative images, which, combined with his love of pop culture and media, has led to cosplay photography. Over the years, he has taken photos of numerous people at various conventions, and has participated for the last two years in the Black Fae Day events held locally. As 2023’s Black Fae Day event approaches, he hopes that he can help give more visibility to this growing community with the photos he’ll help create.

Black Art at BLINK 2022

BLINK started tonight and here’s some of the Black art we saw during the event!

MAX SANSING, STILL SHINES THROUGH
“In speaking with locals about the area, I put together a vision that would feature the youth of the community looking towards the future of it throughout the growth and change along with pixel mapping from Chaske Haverkos for a multisensorial experience. The figures are in meditation with their thoughts while looking up to the sky symbolizing the future and limitless possibilities.”
