Hey there, I’m Rebekah Mininger. I’m a photographer and educator working and living in Greenville, SC.
The artwork I create is driven by the conviction that there is far more to this life than what we see with our eyes. Through my fine art I celebrate the human soul’s desire to reach beyond itself, to connect with a larger purpose, and to recognize existence beyond the limits of our physical vision. Abstract photography is capable of creating new landscapes that have never before been seen.
My commercial imagery is centered around classical photographic principles of high quality aesthetics to meet your professional and personal image goals. I am only accepting limited clientele bookings at the present time.
Much love,
Rebekah
