My Framer Site

What is photography if not the art of storytelling—of capturing the voices, emotions, and experiences that deserve to be seen?
This is why I do what I do.  

I believe in creating a space that is safe, honest, and deeply expressive—a space where vulnerability is not only welcomed but celebrated. Through my lens, I seek to honor the beauty of love, community, and belonging, weaving together diverse and soulful visual narratives that resonate beyond the frame. Every story matters. And every day, I am inspired to tell them with heart, intention, and an unwavering dedication to my craft.

Hello, my name is Zayira Ray (b. 2000, New York City) and I am an Indian-American photographer and artist based in New York.
