Most people know her as a dope photographer, but she's really a Jane of all trades. She was a dancer in the Philadelphia female dance group Montazh (created by Michele Byrd McPhee). They were everywhere and killing every show.

The first time I saw Jonene taking photos was at a BBoy BBQ.  Now, you can catch her on stage at shows like Rock The Bells--or gathering every DJ in the city for a historical moment on film. As a photographer, she’s known for her beautifully contrasted black and white photography.

Below she tells you a bit about herself, but she definitely left out her most current accomplishment–having her work sold in stores and online at Urban Outfitters. Check her out.

Stacey: Please tell the folks what you do and why you do it.

Jonene: I take photos of anything that catches my eye. Things mostly that center around the culture of hip hop--MCs, bboys/bgirls, graffiti and DJs. I really love shooting anything that helps to make up those elements as well--sneakers, records, a marker, a microphone, a beat machine, spray cans, keyboards, a record needle, etc. I don't even have a flat out answer as to why I shoot what I do. It's just what I see. I guess it's because I love the culture. I hate sounding cliche. I think that the entire culture has a passion behind it, and I like to not only capture the culture, but the intricate things that make up those elements that make up the entire culture. I like to capture moments that no one else would think of capturing. I never have an intention when I shoot things. I just shoot.

Stacey: What are you artistically best known for?

Jonene: No clue. Some would say Philly DJ Day. Some would say the graffiti. Some might say the MCs or famous people. Some would say I'm one of the only girls in Philly that shoot what and how I do so by default I'm 'known.' There's also the element of my personality. Someone told me the other day that I have a 'prickly personality.' I think it comes out in my photos.

Stacey: What you're biggest artistic accomplishment?

Jonene: Definitely Philly DJ Day. My only intention was to take a picture. I ended up making history within the Philly DJ community. I made them happy and will always be extremely grateful for that. 

Stacey: Where can people find you?

Jonene:  On Flickr. On Tumblr. On Urban Outfitters.
