Hi, I'm Emma Shay!

I am a rising Sophomore student at Syracuse University, studying cinematography and commercial photography at  S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications based in the Rochester to Syracuse New York area.


With a background and experience in photojournalism and portraiture, I am willing to work hard and use creativity with any assignment given to me.  I am proficient at adobe photoshop, post-production editing and premiere pro for intermediate video work. As well, I am a proud member of Zeta Phi Eta the professional fraternity of Newhouse that allows me to network and develop as a professional in the communications field.


Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or just say hi, I'd love to connect!
