Sequoyah is a skilled portrait, lifestyle, editorial, and fine art photographer, as well as retoucher, photo assistant, lighting technician, and creative director.

His work has attracted clients from all over the country, including actors, musicians, athletes, and brands, and has appeared in multiple publications, including OUT Magazine and Willpower Magazine.
