Deneka Peniston is a native New York photographer that specializes in live music, portraiture and events. After a long stint working behind a desk, she pursued and completed a bachelor’s degree in Photography and Human Rights at the New School University. While juggling full time work and a full load of college courses, Deneka began photographing concerts at the urgency of a friend and immediately became enamored with capturing sound and performance through visual means. She’s been shooting musicians and artists in the underground music scene, as well as corporations and non-profits attracted to her edgier style of portraiture and event coverage, full time, for the past six years.
