Why HumanKIND?
HumanKIND Fine Arts & Film Studio (HFF) is an all-inclusive creative space dedicated to capturing the human experience. During a mission trip to Brazil, Miriam experienced true, authentic, raw moments among the citizens of Manaus and Coari. After returning home, HumanKIND was born. We specialize in humanitarian documentaries, event photography, portraits, graduation sessions, and other meaningful life moments. The “KIND” in HumanKIND is what sets us apart—it’s the heart of our brand. We are a company for all of mankind. This spirit of kindness and authenticity fuels our storytelling, both in film and in photography.
Miriam is a creative by nature and photographer based in Austin Texas who enjoys capturing authentic and sacred moments of all humanity/mankind from different backgrounds and upbringings. Miriam is dedicated to capturing unfiltered emotions & desires to convey storytelling, one image at a time.
