Hello, I am Marlena Reed!
Behind the Lens
I am a published photographer whose journey began in the US Army Reserves, where I learned the basics of photography, developing an eye for detail and a passion for capturing moments. After my service, I continued to pursue photography, constantly growing my style and diving into the healing and empowerment that photography could bring. Whether I’m capturing the love between couples, the essence of a brand, or the joy of a special event, my photographs tell a story that is both captivating and memorable.
Story Time!
You could say my life changed in 2015. I went to the Best Warrior Competition as support and ended up finding my passion for photography. Capturing those moments of blood, sweat, tears, bullets, and fires gave me an exhilaration that was similar to things I actually did in the military except, I got to go to a nice room after to edit photos instead of a tent in bad climate lol! The first time I captured a bullet flying through the air, I felt like Neo in The Matrix freezing time and space (you know the scene) . I fell in love with that moment; that feeling, that click and I've continued to fall in love ever since.
