The Nerd Behind the Camera
Meet
Shardé Chapman
Founder
Hey there, Sharde’ here! Welcome to Blck & Nrdy! I am your resident nerdy boudoir photographer that serves Metro Detroit, but really I can be anywhere you need me to be! I make mention of my nerdiness because I have found it rare to find photographers that appeal to highlighting quirkiness. When I began doing boudoir I wanted to show that everBODY can reflect boldness, confidence, and freedom, so I started with self portraiture and did so in a way that showed sexy, even in my Harry Potter tank top.
Whether you are looking to update headshots or photos for your brand, or you want to dive into animate photography, you can be sure that you can approach it with a flair that shows off the quirks that make you unique. I look forward to making magic where you are free and safe to bring the full expression of yourself. You can think of me as the homie that hypes you up for being authentically YOU.
Mission Statement
"This is my ninja way!"
“My goal is to create an environment where you are free and comfortable to fully express yourself. I will capture the most amazing images that you have seen of yourself that will leave you feeling like your essence has been reflected in photo.”
