About

Jesi Then aka “Then Shot Ya” is a Dominican, New York City born Photographer, Cinematographer and Creative Visual Artist. Raised in the Bronx on Castle Hill, Then developed a passion for photography and visual art at the age of 16, creating his own pinhole camera in high school as a project. Then Shot Ya takes a fresh approach to photography, citing the urban, ostentatious atmosphere derived from street wear culture coupled with his admiration for the elegance and lavishness of high-end, haute couture fashion. Jesi has mentioned Louis Vuitton, Versace, Gucci, Dior and Off-White as influences for his visual art, as well as Richard Avedon, Steve Meisei, Helmut Newton, Annie Leibovitz, and David LaChapelle as inspirations for his photography style. As of recent, Then has embarked on collaborative work with like-minded creatives, shooting fashion editorials and music videos, as well as having attended Paris Fashion Week. Then’s work has been published in online/print magazines such as @Pozamagazine, @Surrealbeautymagazine, @Newfashionmagazine, @Ferocemagazine, and @Beautymutemagazine, respectfully.
