The Artist

Tyquin Briggs

Photographer & Creative Director · Philadelphia, PA

Professor at Cheyney University

Working with photography as a form of connection, my practice centers on presence, personality, and the details that make an image feel personal. I’m drawn to the relationship between a person and the camera: the expression, gesture, and quiet confidence that give a portrait its character.

My visual approach pairs warm tones with considered light and composition. Through this work, I aim to create photographs that invite viewers to pause, look closer, and connect with the person within the frame.

Artist Statement

I build images with direction, feeling, and a point of view.

My work is rooted in people, detail, and the story that lives behind a face, a pose, a color, or a quiet moment. I use photography to make people feel seen, but I also use it to build atmosphere. I pay attention to light, styling, expression, body language, location, texture, and the small decisions that turn a photo into a visual statement.

As a photographer, storyteller, and creative mind, I know how to guide a session from an idea into a finished image. I can direct the pose, shape the mood, read the person in front of me, and create a frame that feels personal without losing polish. My goal is always the same: make the image feel intentional, memorable, and true to the person or story it represents.

Behind The Frame

  • A graduate in a gray sweater sits on a white drape surrounded by college brochures and papers, arranged as a set

    Styling a graduation set before the first frame.

  • Tyquin Briggs on a city sidewalk holding a camera with a monitor, beside a large softbox and reflector on a stand

    Setting the key light on location.

  • The photographer, seen over his shoulder, holding up a camera whose screen shows the woman standing in front of him in a studio with a softbox

    Checking the frame on the camera’s screen before the next shot.

  • A staged concept shoot in an alley with caution tape, traffic cones, softbox lights, and a model in a white coat

    A staged concept set: the tape, cones, and light are all props.

  • Model in a white medical examiner's coat and blue gloves on a phone, crouched over a black tarp beside an evidence bag in a staged alley set

    The finished concept: a medical examiner calls it in. Every prop was staged.

  • Model in a white coat and blue gloves crouching beside a black tarp with yellow evidence markers 1 and 2 and caution tape behind her

    Evidence markers, set dressing and a raking afternoon light.

  • Model in a white coat and ID lanyard leaning against a concrete wall behind yellow caution tape, looking at the camera

    A pause behind the caution tape, styled for the cover shot.

  • Model in a white coat and blue gloves holding up a paper evidence bag and a swab, with caution tape and a traffic cone behind her

    Holding the evidence: a paper bag and swab, both props.

  • Final touches in the chair, camera already rolling.

  • Moving with the gimbal while the look comes together.

  • Framing the set through the ring light.

  • Balancing the gimbal before the next take.
