About Khalila Early-Zald
Focusing on authentic, affirming, and empowering moments through relationship-driven connection showcasing personality.
Hi there! I'm Khalila, I moved to Asheville, North Carolina in 2021 after living in Maryland, Indiana, and Nashville. As a queer photographer, I prioritize a safe and welcoming space for the LGBTQ+ community. Too often have I heard that people do not feel accepted or safe to be their authentic selves, and in my photography and in my life I strive to create empowering, joyful, and welcoming spaces. My grandma has influenced me greatly in my photography, as she is a photographer herself, always stressing the importance of developing relationships with the people who are in front of your camera. That is my goal as a photographer, relationship and connection.
Working with me is a collaborative experience where we celebrate your authentic self through art. If you have ideas for a photoshoot or a specific shot I want to hear them, I focus on making this experience about you as well. I focus on candid, documentary-style driven photography where one does not feel awkward by poses.
I can't wait to meet you and create timeless, emotion-filled images that reflect your genuine beauty and individuality. Let's embark on this journey together and capture moments that truly resonate with your heart.
