The Accidental Artist — Captured by Tymel

I’m Tymel Young—photographer, videographer, and Owner and Creative Director of Raised Media Co.

Thanks for visiting my personal page.

My style is rooted in street photography, where timing is everything and nothing is staged. That background shaped how I see the world, and how I shoot everything else. Whether I’m documenting a brand activation, a wedding, or a quiet moment on a Brooklyn sidewalk, I approach it the same way: stay present, anticipate the moment, and let the story unfold naturally.

My work sits somewhere between documentary and editorial. Clean, intentional, but never overworked. I like images that feel lived-in. Ones that don’t just show you something, but make you feel like you were there when it happened.

Born and raised in New York City, I’m drawn to movement, mood, and those blink-and-you’ll-miss-it details. That shows up in my commercial work too—clients come to me when they want visuals that feel human, not manufactured.

I’ve worked with brands, artists, and couples who trust me to capture the moment, not manufacture it. And that trust is what makes the work real.

If you're into that, we’ll get along just fine.
