Nyia Sissac

Nyia Sissac is a portrait photographer based in Chicago, IL. She graduated from Columbia College Chicago, with a BA in photography. Her practice uses portraiture as a tool to document and tell a new unique definition of Blackness,  creating a palette of colors and textures to make a conceptual story. She creates as a way to teach my fellow community that photography can be a tool that helps you heal. It helps you release emotions, secrets, and places that you have been and maybe haven’t experienced yet.
