Nye’ Lyn Tho - Nye Lyn Tho Photography

My wife, Genoa, and I run a design studio based in Virginia Beach, VA, with roots in the Bay Area, California. We still work with clients in Oakland and San Francisco, so we’re often there, as well as in New York, where I was born and raised.

I proudly swim in both the Photography and Graphic Design industries. No matter what I’m creating, I consider it branding. Whether it’s a logo or a portrait, I’m aiming to capture a unique perception of a company, product, or individual. No matter the subject or tool, our goal is to create emotional connections to your potential audience or consumer. Photography and Graphic Design are just two of the countless ways to do that, and I happen to specialize in both.

Since beginning my freelance journey in 2015, I have worked with institutions like UCSF, coorporations like Uber Eats and Sephora, small but growing businesses like Red Bay Coffee, politicians like Carroll Fife and just some very beautiful individuals

I consistently aim to uplift those who are often shunned in society. As a black lesbian woman, I recognize the constant need for positive self reflections. Growing up with a very small view of people like me in media, in stories, or even products on the shelf, I seek to help provide positive mirrors that I’ve craved since childhood. Picking up a camera has fed that hunger not only for myself but for people like myself and I hope to join the heavy hitters doing this work like Issa Rae, Tabitha Brown, Quinta Brunson, and others!
