Cherie Bugtong is a photographer and videographer based out of New York City.

Celebrating diversity, self-love and rebel hearts, Cherie (that’s me!) uses photo and video as a way to empower her subjects as she witnesses their “moment” in action. She is always looking for ways to connect her lens with her audience and bending light, embracing shadows and experimenting with colors continues to challenge and inspire her eye. Cherie aims to develop images that push LGBTQ+, people of color, especially women, to the forefront because in her world, there’s always room for us at the table.
