Deja Samuel

Deja is a photographer and documentarian graduate student currently based in Oxford, MS working across events, weddings, film sets, and more. Her approach blends the sacred with the everyday—seeking beauty not just in grand gestures, but in the quiet, in-between moments that often go unnoticed.

Currently pursuing a graduate degree in documentary studies, she is refining her craft while expanding her understanding of visual storytelling. Her work draws on both personal experience and intentional curiosity—balancing a trained eye with a deep sensitivity to the emotional undertones of each scene.
