Social Status717 Liberty AveSharimar Cruz / Sycroix | "Atypical"Sharimar Cruz who also goes by her brand name Sycroix focuses primarily on fashion, commercial, and editorial photography. She seeks to incorporate heritage and culture through her images. Her work has a wide range of concepts, compositions, and understanding of the human anatomy. As a photographer, she takes great care in understanding the representation of her subjects. She utilizes environments and studio aesthetic to make her subjects the shimmering jewels of her work. With a keen eye for color, she utilizes harmonic tonal ranges, color palettes, and contrast for emphasis. With this body of work, she has chosen to shine the spotlight on 4 very unique individuals. They all have very distinctive looks but a quality they all share is an atypical sense of fashion.
