Portrait of CJ Payne, a professional freelance photographer based in Richmond, VA

Hello

Capture the magic of your special events with my photography services. Utilizing a professional-grade Sony camera equipped with multiple lenses and filters, in addition to my proficiency with Adobe Lightroom, I am ready to tackle any and every scenario.

My Story

I began my professional career in November 2022, capturing events for The Veil Brewing Company. Shortly after, I joined RVA Magazine as a contributor, which opened the door to photographing numerous concerts featuring renowned artists like Hozier, Noah Kahan, and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. In addition to concert photography, I dedicate much of my time to shooting other events and weddings, ensuring that every moment is beautifully preserved. I am excited about new projects and can't wait to share my passion for photography with you!
