PORTFOLIO

I'm Zaria—a creative content creator and freelancer based between Norfolk, VA, and Washington, D.C. My journey into the creative world began a 2023, and since then, I've immersed myself in photography, consulting, and brand management.

Before discovering my passion for photography, I was navigating life as a regular student. Now, I'm building a foundation to become an icon in the creative industry. Over the past year, I've had the privilege of creating impactful work, forming and leading an intern team, consulting on projects, and directing visual storytelling that connects and inspires.

I'm just getting started, and I can't wait to see where this journey takes me…

I am a passionate creative and freelance artist specializing in photography, graphic design, social media branding, and emerging videography. My work is driven by a commitment to capturing impactful moments and crafting visuals that resonate with audiences. I currently collaborate with brands and organizations such as Rampant, SportsPlug757, The Sporting News 757, Maryland High School Sports, the Middle Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), Bowie State University, Norfolk State University Football, and Old Dominion University’s athletic programs, including ODU Men’s Basketball, Women’s Basketball, Football, and ODU Sports. I have also expanded my work into the food and hospitality space by partnering with local restaurants to create promotional visuals, brand identity content, and digital storytelling. These collaborations allow me to connect with diverse audiences and continuously refine my ability to create dynamic, engaging work.

I’ve had opportunities to cover major environments, including shooting at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, which strengthened my experience capturing high-energy, high-visibility sports moments.

I am actively expanding my expertise in videography—exploring storytelling through motion—while also elevating my skills in social media branding, helping clients build cohesive, intentional online identities. I continue to sharpen my portrait photography to highlight individuality and emotion. Balancing my freelance work with academic responsibilities requires focus and adaptability, but both contribute to my growth as a creative professional.

I am committed to building meaningful relationships, embracing new challenges, and continuing to push creative boundaries in every space I enter.

It all begins with...

"Four years of dedication and growth. Every hour spent honing skills, pushing limits, and striving for excellence builds not just a player, but a champion. Leave it all on the court, honor the game, and create a legacy that inspires generations."

Make it stand out.

"Game day—where the energy is electric, the crowd is roaring, and every moment pulses with anticipation. The adrenaline, the passion, the fight—it’s more than a game, it’s an experience. Feel the hype, embrace the moment, and leave it all on the court."
