Brand Strategist and Creative Director, Inna blends her background in business and visual storytelling to elevate socially conscious entrepreneurs and organizations.
As the daughter of an artist, Inna Shnayder started drawing and painting at an early age but discovered her calling as a photographer in college while learning to develop film. At the same time, she pursued a path of studying and teaching Taoist meditation. As a result, Inna not only works with a sense of joy and playfulness but has the ability to put people at ease through her presence.
Inna’s love of travel has taken her around the world as a photojournalist covering human rights issues, cultural events and sustainable tourism. In New York she has worked for corporate brands like the New York Times and private clients in the realm of portrait, branding shoots and feminine embodiment photography.
For the last 15 years she’s been training in the healing arts ranging from Traditional Hatha yoga, Taoist Tantra, kundalini yoga, energy healing, embodiment work, Egyptian alchemy, therapeutic trauma healing and as a death doula. She loves to approach her photography work with the same energetic sensitivity and add a sense of ritual, ceremony and intention to her work.
