Jineane Rivers currently resides in Phoenix, Arizona eager to build upon the 15+ years of photography experience into a full time career. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in photography at ASU.
After truly discovering herself in her mid-20s, she developed a style that is uniquely her. Finding the beauty in all things dark, creepy, mysterious and macabre. As someone who finds comfort in the shadows, her work is a reflection of who she is. Jineane appreciates the unconventional and has a magical perspective on the world.
I have always admired all things Halloween and eerie, it's my comfort when I'm feeling down or going through tough times. There is just something about the overall feeling and atmosphere that makes me feel at peace. My love for it doesn't stop after October.
A huge part of my growth as a photographer was rekindling that childlike sense of wonder and imagination that Halloween brings me. My art embraces the dark and spookiness that guide me in creating a world that feels wondrous.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to travel with my camera, capturing people and architecture in environments that let my creativity soar. I thrive on creating imagery that gives off a haunting ambience.
