Who is Cecil?

My name is Cecil Chambers and I am the youngest of three brothers. I was born in Miami, but raised in North Lauderdale. Photography has been a passion of mine for several years and in 2015 I made the decision to pursue it professionally. It has allowed me to create spaces where creative minds can come together and where artists, stylists, models and more can help each other grow by collaborating on ideas they are passionate about.

When not shooting or editing photos…

You can find me either in nature or finding other ways to express my creativity, such as pour painting or writing poetry.

Inspiration:

My passion for photography came through my love of music. As I created music, I realized I could visualize an idea and bring it to life all on my own. Through music, I could convey a story or a mood, and I realized I could to that with photos too. When I first started out, I took as many pictures as possible, of anything and everything just for the practice. The more photos I took, the more I found I was attracted to bold colors. I found myself photographing rich landscapes and unique fashion. As I began to photograph more people, I looked to capture those who were comfortable in their own skin; people who challenged societal beauty norms and embraced the beauty in their imperfections.
