Raquelle Mintz is a self-taught photographer based in NYC who works from instinct more than instruction. Her photographs rise out of motion, chance, and the quiet violence of seeing. She’s drawn to what won’t last, the pulse of a passing face, the breath before something disappears.
There’s no separation between her and the world she photographs. The streets, the sky, the fleeting glimmer of light; they speak, and she answers with her lens. Her work isn’t about control; it’s about surrender, about finding beauty in the unconscious.
Raquelle’s images live in that narrow space between tenderness and grit. They don’t ask for perfection. They ask to be felt. Each photograph is a small devotion to impermanence.
