CASEY VANGE

[VONG-gah]

I’m Casey, a NYC-based photographer and high-end retoucher with a bold, narrative-driven style. 

My work in fashion and portraiture leans into audacious, unapologetic, and daring use of color, design, and dynamic movement to capture genuine emotion. With a deep love of fashion, film and music, my work tells compelling stories, drawing authentic energy from my subjects and bringing them to life in vibrant, cinematic moments. Studying fine art photography at Columbia College Chicago sparked my fascination with how art and fashion can converge to weave timeless, fantastical imagery. I’ve had the privilege of working with numerous modeling agencies like IMG, New York Models, Wilhelmina, Ford and Soul Artist Mgmt to create model tests that infuse portfolios with fresh, youthful energy and playful motion and color. Every photograph in my portfolio is retouched by me, bringing my meticulous attention to detail and artistic vision full circle.

Beyond fashion and portraits, I bring my expertise to teaching photography workshops with a focus on empowerment and storytelling, fostering creativity and confidence among young photographers. With years of deeply rewarding experience teaching photography workshops for a social justice-driven Black feminist nonprofit, I’ve brought this same passion for fostering creativity to the New York Public Library, where I led workshops for youth in a community-focused environment. I look forward to continuing this work with organizations that seek to engage and inspire future generations through the power of photography.

My event photography highlights a wide range of experiences—from electrifying NYFW runway shows and backstage moments to impactful mission-driven events and youth-led educational programs. I specialize in documenting events of all kinds, from the grandeur of runways to the intimacy of grassroots gatherings. Whether I’m capturing the theatricality of high fashion or the inspiring advocacy of young changemakers, my goal remains the same: to tell powerful, authentic stories through my lens.

Let’s collaborate to create visuals that are as bold and meaningful as the stories they tell.
