​
photography Imani's love of evocative imagers drives her growing photographic explorations. Playing with mood, lighting, music and space, she seeks to capture the feelings & stories surrounding her, crystallizing memories often lost.
​
Her first published book of photography CON AMOR, DE HABANA is available in our shop, with 25% of sales going towards the FOSTER ARTS EDUCATIONAL FUND.
​
film Beginner's Luck is a recurring theme in Imani's life and Film is no exception.
Beginning with a seemingly innocent class assignment, Imani's first Short Dance Film MUJER NOIRE was selected for the 2021 DANCE ON CAMERA FESTIVAL with Dance On Camera / Film at Lincoln Center in NYC, and then traveled to Seoul ,Korea to be shown in the 5th ANNUAL SEOUL DANCE ON FILM FESTIVALl.
.
These experiences opened doors for Imani she didn't know existed, and with film enabling images to dance, acts as a natural extension of Imani as a movement explorer.
​
Imani's videography premiered in Moraga, California in 2022, in UNFOLD, an immersive dance film exploration of the sculpture-architecture of Alexander Calder created in collaboration with Tara Howse Dance.
​
