Neely, AKA YUNGCEO: Capturing the Essence of
Editorial, Beauty, and Funk in Atlanta
About Me:
Hi there! I'm Neely, known in the creative sphere as YUNGCEO, and I am a passionate photographer based in Atlanta. My lens is a canvas where I paint stories through editorial photography, celebrate the beauty of my subjects, and embrace the funky, unconventional aspects of art.
Roots in Hip Hop:
My journey into the world of photography was an unexpected yet beautiful turn. I began my journey in Atlanta as a hip hop dancer. However, my love for the arts grew beyond just dance. Starting with taking headshots for fellow dancers, my passion evolved, leading me to creatively direct my own projects. These initiatives garnered attention from music artists, providing opportunities not only to dance behind them but also to capture them through my lens. This unique blend allows me to infuse authenticity into my work, producing images that resonate with raw emotion and genuine expression.
Professional Experience:
YUNGCEO has seen her creations embraced by some of the industry's most prominent names, including Spotify, Pandora, Tidal, Essence, and Tiktok Headquarters. She has had the privilege of collaborating with influential labels such as Quality Control Music, Epic Records, RCA Records, and Omarion Worldwide. Her work extends beyond the traditional boundaries of photography, aiming to capture the essence of the music industry and its dynamic personalities.
Specializations:
YUNGCEO’s specialization lies in editorial photography, where she brings a distinct blend of style, creativity, and narrative to each frame. Whether it's capturing the essence of a musical artist, exploring the intricacies of beauty, or delving into the realm of funky art, her goal is to create visuals that leave a lasting impact.
A Creative Odyssey:
My art is a creative odyssey, where I strive to push boundaries, challenge norms, and create a visual language that speaks to the soul. Atlanta's rich cultural tapestry serves as both my muse and playground, influencing my work and adding a unique flavor to my portfolio.
As YUNGCEO, I invite you to join me on this visual journey—a celebration of art, beauty, and the unconventional.
