Emma Barbernell is a freelance photographer and multidisciplinary creative based in New York City. She graduated from San Clemente High School in 2025 and is currently pursuing her undergraduate studies at Pace University.

Emma’s work spans intimate portraiture—capturing families, seniors, and couples with an honest, documentary-style approach, to creative direction and visual storytelling, as well as editorials, fashion and headshots. She works for the media team behind Girlxfriend LA, a women-owned and run tattoo shop in Los Angeles, creating content for both the Instagram and TikTok.

She was also the still photographer for Sanctuary, a New York City-based documentary directed by Autumn McAlpin that explores the intersection of queerness and inclusivity within spiritual spaces.
