Vanie Poyey has been a visual artist since she could hold a pencil (that was a long time ago). Influenced by her father, who was a whiz with the camera, she has been shooting pictures since her teens! As a teen, Vanie honed her skills while documenting her social life and currently, she enjoys documenting her trips outside the U.S. Her time spent studying visual arts both at the LA County High School for the Arts and at Otis, one of the most prestigious art schools in the nation, led her to an even greater passion for photography and all other arts. In fact, she dabbled in some acting, and being surrounded by actors, she discovered a love for shooting head shots. Her firsthand knowledge of the business has made her the photographer she is today, not only for actors but, for all sorts of creative personalities.

Her latest work includes musical talents Ludacris, Snoop Dogg, and Nelly including Grammy winners Harold Lilly and j.Que. She’s also taken head shots for such sports personalities as Cal Ripken Jr., David Ortiz, Derek Jeter, and Dale Earnheardt Jr.
Vanie's work has been featured in national ad campaigns in publications such as USA Today, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Pontiac's Performance magazine, Mediaweek, and many others. Her commercial work can also be seen in national web banner ads, on standees and kiosks, and on banners on the side of Madison Square Garden in New York City!

Her clients can be seen daily in commercials, on TV shows like Nip/Tuck, and in films such as Secretary, Batman, and Bewitched.

Vanie is consistently referred by agencies of all sizes including SBV, BBA, Bicoastal, and Ann Geddes, to name a few.

Her photo sessions are personalized, creating an environment conducive to making clients feel comfortable. Her technique fully utilizes a sense of understanding how to "market" an artist while bringing out his or her personality. She uses a range of styles suitable for almost anyone.

The best way to assess if she is the right photographer for you is to meet for a consultation.
