The Photographer
"Nature was my first teacher — light, patience, stillness. Everything I learned chasing it, I now bring to the people in front of my lens."
Celine Potter is a natural light photographer based in Washington D.C. and Maryland, with over 18 years behind the lens. Her work has been published in Seven Magazine and Shoutout Atlanta, shot for Washingtonian Events, and exhibited with Pro Photo DC. She has photographed multiple seasons of Runway 7 at New York Fashion Week. Raised in the hills of rural Kentucky, she's always been drawn to light and the quiet details most people walk past. That eye now moves through people — portraits, couples, families, events, and everything in between. Candid. Intuitive. Rooted in connection.
