Hi!
I'm Dina Waxman.
I'm a filmmaker, photographer, and musician.
​
I started taking photographs when I was a teenager, using my mom's Nikon from the '70s.
​
​I continued photography as a hobby, but my professional life was consumed by the film and music businesses. In film, I worked as a script supervisor on everything from indie films to Fight Club, while also writing and directing my own projects. In music, I played bass in many bands, most notably The Lemonheads, and I wrote songs, sang, and played bass in my own bands, the most significant of which was Space Mtn, whose debut album turned 20 this year!
​
In recent years, as I saw how digital photography was diminishing the significance of the single image, I became interested in capturing particularly special moments in a particularly special way.​
As with filmmaking and music, my efforts in photography are as much about connection and collaboration as they are about the form itself. Creating these portraits feels magical and important to me. I lost my mom when I was young, and I wish I had a proper portrait of us. It seems related to this loss that I developed a keen interest in capturing precious moments in time in a way that feels truly meaningful.
​
It would be my honor to do this for you.
