About

My name is Courtney Miener and I am a film and digital photographer based in the United States. my academic background is in filmmaking and the French language, both of which are close to my heart. I am inspired by neorealist and French new-wave cinema, the lust-for-life music of early-2000’s indie rock, Sicilian landscapes, and my personal connections with those close to me.

my photographic work is both candid and editorial- melding a playful and portraitist approach. i seek to capture an essence of personality and lifestyle, both organic and intentional in everything that I photograph. Through imagery, I find fulfillment in drawing attention to nuance, connection, and creating a meditation of sorts on the little beauties of living.
