6 Creative Youth Photographers in Belize
We have enjoyed the pleasure of working with many young photographers in Belize; hence the reason for this blog.
Featured Photo by Anthony Sierra Photography
Photography is a skill many people enjoy, probably because it is really fun and leaves room for much creativity. Creativity is one thing all these youths have and it is certainly our pleasure to feature their work.
Below we feature each photographer’s favorite photo they have taken to date and also our favorite photo they’ve shot from an ID SEVEN Shoot.
Azriel Photography
Jonathan Parham is the Belize photographer behind Azriel Photography and he is based in Belmopan City (Cayo District). One thing we can say about Jonathan is that he is very eager and willing to learn. Because of this, his skill has really grown since his busincess launch. His free time is consumed with photography but he also really enjoys sports. While he does not get to travel much because of school commitments, he hopes to one day travel and take his talent outside Belize. His model is wearing ID SEVEN’s 501 Rep Pocket Tee.

Kairos Photography
Shamah Smith is the Belize Photographer behind Kairos Photography. We like to refer to her as the one who will get you that magazine shot. She calls Roaring Creek Village (Cayo District) home where she works as a Music Director and DJ at My Refuge Christian Radio. Shamah enjoys deejaying, baking, photography and singing (she is a member of Ripple Effect Band). One of her strongest passions is mission work and connecting with people from around the world. Shamah is sporting our Fi Wi Kontry Tee in her photo and her model is wearing our 501 Rep Pocket Tee.

Henry Cho Photography
Henry Cho is a young photographer from San Felipe Village (Toledo District). He has quite a unique style and really enjoys macro photography as is evident on his Instagram. We love where his inspiration comes from, he shared: “My mother used to tell me stories of the years she experienced in her life and how she didn’t capture any moments of her life because they had no money and didn’t know about cameras.” Those limitations inspired him to capture as many moments as he can today. Henry is extremely talented and we can’t wait to see his talent develop. His model is wearing our Reggae Tee in the photo.

Hannah Noele Photography
Hannah moved to Belize with her parents who came to the country as missionaries when she was only 1 year old. She photographs beautifully and we love the vintage style in many of her photos. Other than photography, she enjoys thrifting, listening to music and hanging out with her friends. The US gets to have her this year while she furthers her studies in Texas; but we hope to see her back in Belize during breaks. Hannah hopes to develop her skills as a fashion photographer. She is wearing our most-loved Fry Jack V-neck Tee in her photo and her model is rocking our Straight Outta Belize Tee. Also peep the Twig & Pearl Box Bag in her shoot.

Anthony Sierra Photography
Anthony Sierra is an upcoming young photographer from Santa Elena Village (Cayo District). When we first met Anthony, he mainly photographed nature but we challenged his talent and he now enjoys portrait and event photography as well. Though he enjoys photography, youths are his passion and he hopes to use his talent as a means to inspire and connect with them. Because he volunteers with many organizations, he has received countless opportunities to develop his talent. Anthony has certainly been a huge blessing to us. Today, he is the official youth photographer for ID SEVEN Apparel and also serves at our youth leadership camp, District. Both Anthony and his model are wearing our Baymen’s Clan Long Sleeve Tee.

Michael Cus Photography
Lastly, meet Michael Cus, a young photographer from San Miguel Village (Toledo District). While photography is a skill he recently began to develop, he is already very good at it. In his free time, Michael enjoys activities of the outdoors such as swimming, hiking, traveling and fishing. He is probably one of the most humble photographers we have worked with and also a very fun person to be around. One day soon, he hopes to establish a photography business of his own. Michael is wearing our Straight Outta Belize Tee in his photo and his models are wearing our Axe & Paddle Crew and Belize Cosmic Tee.
