Golié Miamee

Golie Miamee is a traveler who loves to photograph and capture her journeys. She was born in Michigan and traveled overseas for the first time when she was less than 1 month old. With a background in Graphic Design, Computer Science and Visual Arts, Miamee switched her focus to photography ten years ago.

Golie considers herself a visual artist, rather than a traditional photographer, who uses a photograph as her canvas and digital editing as the main medium. She strives to let her audience see the world as she sees it through my lens where every photo becomes a timeless capture of that specific scene. Intrigued by the world, her love for photography, and passion for travel, have together allowed her to capture memorable moments of nature, people, places, art, culture and much more. Golie sees every photograph as an image that can come to life; and hopes that each one gives her viewers the same bliss and enjoyment as it does for her. She ventures to expand her work by adding more destinations from around the world while developing new media techniques.
