Alicia Taylor – CEO/Founder

Alicia "Artiise" Taylor, a 35-year-old freelance photographer from Long Island, New York, embarked on her journey after majoring in Photography at Nassau Community College. During her time there, she gained valuable experience working with both Film and DSLR cameras, and explored various genres of photography, including Landscape, Portrait, and Fashion. After completing her studies, Alicia became a certified photographer and immediately began seeking real-world experiences in her field. She joined Model Mayhem, a portfolio website for models and photographers, and successfully booked her very first paid photo shoot, marking the birth of Artiise Photography.

As Alicia's skills and reputation grew, she had the opportunity to collaborate with celebrities in the fashion industry, such as her favorite Hip-Hop artist Fabolous, Yandy Smith from VH1's Love & Hip Hop, and actress Amanda Seales from HBO's hit show Insecure. Additionally, she had the pleasure of working with Ericka Pittman, the VP of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' Wines and Spirits, and even filmed exclusive footage alongside Bravo TV's crew during Pittman's appearance on the reality show "The Single's Project".​
Alicia's work received recognition and was published in multiple publications, including Ellements Magazine and Sweets Magazine. She also had the honor of seeing her work displayed on billboards in Times Square for FRO National's clothing line. Over the years, Artiise Photography has evolved to encompass various types of photography, including fashion, portrait, family, and maternity, as well as graphic design and logo creation for professional companies. Alicia's distinctive style is characterized by her unique and dramatic use of color, light, and shadows, making her work instantly recognizable.
In 2018, after nearly a decade of Artiise Photography, Alicia achieved her ultimate goal by opening the Artiise Photography Studio in her hometown of Freeport, coinciding with her 30th birthday. With the establishment of her studio, she aspires to be recognized not only as a talented photographer but also as a business owner and influential figure, inspiring aspiring entrepreneurs on their own journeys.
