Jen Grima

Storytelling Photographer

I use my camera as a way of peeking into the lives of others, just for an instant. Ultimately, my goal is to tell the story of that moment. A moment that may otherwise go unnoticed and lost in time forever.

I was lucky enough to spend the first 33 years of my life in New York City, a place made up of different cultures, languages, races, and ethnicities - a true epicenter of diversity. I will be forever drawn to the energy of city life, the people there, and the universal things that connect us - no matter where we’re from, or what language we speak. Through my work, I look forward to exploring new locations, in an effort to show that although we all have our differences, humanity is something that we all have in common.
