Shammara McKay

Shammara McKay is a New York City photographer with a passion for capturing the beauty of everyday life. She first picked up a camera in 2011, but it wasn’t until a trip to Barbados 6 years later that her love for documenting spontaneous observations on the street was sparked. Ever since then, Shammara has been focused on immortalizing candid, fleeting moments that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Shammara’s work has been exhibited at Sarah Gormley Gallery, Women Street Photographers and published within multiple magazines.
