About the Artist /
I’m Riané Human, a Fashion Photographer and Creative Director from Johannesburg, splitting my time between Chicago and California.
I grew an interest in fashion photography in 2018 and quickly realized it was where I felt most inspired and free. There aren’t really any rules, and that’s what I love about it.
A lot of my inspiration comes from old movies. I love how the music and visuals build emotion, creating a feeling you can’t always explain. That’s what I try to capture in my work too.
When you do something long enough, especially when it becomes your job, it’s easy to slip into autopilot. But I try to hold onto that original spark and curiosity that made me fall in love with this in the first place. I still want to create just to create.
What It’s Like to Work Together
Working with me is easy, collaborative, and fully supported from start to finish. I handle everything from creative direction and planning to retouching and delivery. If your shoot needs a team, I can bring in trusted stylists, HMUAs, and assistants to match the scale of your project.
You can expect a calm and focused energy on set, clear direction, and space to explore. I’m here to make the process feel effortless and creative and never rushed or overly complicated.
