Kirated Pet Photography - New York, NY
Kira Chen specializes in fine art pet photography -- her style is deeply rooted in the film (analog) world, as well as in her painting and sculpture work. After obtaining her Bachelors’ in Fine Arts and Biology, Kira moved to Manhattan to pursue a doctorate in dentistry, and has since been working with photography clients across New York and New Jersey.
