Sylvanna Baran Photography I like to document how I see the world and the people in it, whether realistic or as fine art.

These two photos are 100% untouched. Absolutely nothing has been altered on these shots.

Personally I find nothing wrong with tweaking exposure as needed on shots of the northern lights; I’ve done it on some I have yet to post, when the storm wasn’t at its peak. Same with the shots I posted of my dad— I adjusted exposure as necessary to show everything. Otherwise, I never touch the colors. Those are completely SOOC.

This isn’t shade towards anyone who does edit their shots beyond exposure— I just think it’s incredible the lights spoke for themselves 🥹

finally saw the northern lights! it was pretty faint to the naked eye, but even the low tone of fuchsia was amazing to see. I only slightly altered the exposure on these shots— the colors are untouched and what was caught in camera!

space is so damn cool. 🌌✨

my heart is still filled with joy and pride from this day. 🏳️‍🌈💖🏳️‍⚧️

apologies for the delayed NEPA pride photos (I’m off by a month from my last post lmao) but I still really love these and any time of the year is always a good time for pride related anything!! ☺️ I’ll be posting the rest over time too, hopefully less than a month from now… 😅

if you spot yourself (or someone you know) in any photos and would like the full individual shot, please don’t hesitate to DM me!!

hey y’all, I listed some images up in both inprnt and darkroom available as prints in multiple options! the links for both are available here https://linktr.ee/syl.bee, and inprnt is having a sale too!

if there’s any specific images you’re looking for to order as a print, but don’t see it, please don’t hesitate to let me know which one you’d like listed!
I’m more than happy to upload others, and I’ll be adding slowly over time to both, as well. ☺️

thank you for all the support for nearly a decade, whether in likes, comments, shares, photo shoots, commissions, etc.
life hasn’t worked out the way I had hoped, but I’ve been paving a different path to still do what I love to this day. i’m grateful for any support that has pushed me this far. 💜

hope y’all have a lovely weekend!! ✨

with twitter crumbling and ig just being a pain in the ass anymore, i figured i’d give hive a try. so far i like it, and i’m hoping it’ll be a great alternative to most social media apps lately. definitely user friendly, and it didn’t feel like a chore to post some art for once. if you’re on there, let’s be besties— my handle’s @/ sylvanna !! 🥹📷

just a few of my favourite shots from various pride events the last several years. i skipped on any major events this year because with all the mass shootings and hate crimes going on, i didn’t feel safe in large crowds.

first photo is philly pride, 2014, right after same s*x marriage was legalized in PA. second and third are also from philly pride in 2017, I believe.

it’s terrifying how lgbtq+ rights are threatened on a daily basis at this point. all human rights have been threatened or some already taken away. we still have so much work to do, but to see the progress vanish before our eyes is so disappointing, depressing, and personally makes me feel hopeless.

i’m trying. i’m fighting. i don’t think i’ll ever fully stop, but i’m so fu***ng tired, and i know the majority of this community feels similar. cishet folks might be sick of us always advocating for our rights, thinking we’re just trying to “shove it down everyone’s throats”, but in reality, we just want to live our lives, just like y’all do. we want to be able to live in peace, in our truest identities, without fear of ridicule, violence, or even hate crimes ending in fatality.

i’m done being nice, i’m tired of coddling cishet folks. if who i, or anyone else, identify as goes against your beliefs, that’s YOUR problem, not mine, not any of us just trying to exist.

we’re still gonna be here, q***r as f**k, even if rights are rolled back. y’all remember how stonewall went down? enough said. we might be exhausted, but we’re not disappearing for your comfort.

none of this is up for debate, btw. if you have a problem with this, i hope the door hits you hard on the way out.

happy pride to all my fellow q***r/lgbtq+ pals and peers. i hope y’all had a safe pride month 💜🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️💖
