Travis Cannady

I am a film photographer based in Sacramento, California. I studied Fine Arts at American River College from 2012 - 2017. This is where I found my love for film photography while working in the darkroom.

The current focus of my work is on making intimate portraits with individuals and documenting the mundane of everyday life / all of the in between moments most people would not think twice about.

In 2021 I started a new film photography publication called Better Off Zine. Better Off Zine is a printed publication that features the work of a different photographer in each issue. The goal of these zines are to give photographers in the film community an opportunity to share their work and to make it accessible to as many people as possible.

I am also working on self publishing small run zines of my own work and collaborating with some amazing artists and individuals to create beautiful images on film.
