Hello! My name is Reginald Essien but everyone calls me Reggie. I’m your Nigerian, Atlanta-based photographer who majored in IT and Business with a burning passion for the arts and individuality. Oh yeah, I’m an actor as well.

Reggie Snapped is a long time coming and I’m glad it’s here. My relationship with photography has been a consistent journey that I never asked for. For at least a decade and a half, it’s one thing that has always found me whether we are talking: lighting, quality, color or editing. It’s never really been a dream, because I’ve lived it and always used what I had in front me to my advantage.

Matthew 14:16 - The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more.

I love a good portrait and I believe the individual before the camera makes it 100x better. — Your strengths. Your potential. You will be the focal point.

Three words to describe your photographer: Creative, Observant, Intentional, Detail-driven.

That’s kind of 5 words but you get the point, lol. — I look forward to working with you.

Reggie
