Joni Kabana is a visual artist who first experienced her love of a still photograph when she picked up a camera at the age of eight. She loved talking her cousins into being her subjects so she could photograph them with her treasured Polaroid camera. Today, Joni welcomes each assignment, big or small, with energy and gusto.
Joni graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Psychology, loving every second of her study of human behavior. She also holds post degree certification in computer programming and enjoyed an earlier career working on technical interactive projects.
She appreciates the success she has had with her love for imagery, and gives back to the community by balancing her creative commercial work with humanitarian non-profit projects. Her recent work with Mercy Corps in India and Nepal garnered the American Society of Media Photographer's "Best of" designation and she has helped numerous charitable organizations relay their unique purposes.
Joni is available for consultation, lectures, workshops and classroom teaching, in addition to commercial advertisement and personal assignments.
Limited edition signed prints of her work are available upon request.
