Kirated Pet Photography - New York, NY
Kira Chen specializes in fine art pet photography -- her style is deeply rooted in the film (analog) world, as well as in her painting and sculpture work. After obtaining her Bachelors’ in Fine Arts and Biology, Kira moved to Manhattan to pursue a doctorate in dentistry, and has since been working with photography clients across New York and New Jersey. She loves the tangibility of print and works with small businesses to produce custom heirloom art products for her clients. Her photographic style can be described as organic, genuine, and timeless.
An avid volunteer at animal rescues and wildlife rehabilitation centers, Kira has worked with a variety of both domestic and wild animals. Her love for animals, experience in fine arts, and background in scientific academia lend her a unique perspective and style for pet photography. Her specialty is documenting beautiful portraits and capturing the heartfelt bond between pets and their owners.
