About Me

About Rashad Penn

I create visuals that move people, capture spaces, and tell the story of The Bahamas.

Based in New Providence (Nassau), I am a professional commercial photographer specializing in high-end Real Estate & Vacation Rental Photography, as well as commercial product, jewelry, and food media.

Beyond commercial spaces, my true artistic passion lies in Fine Art Seascape Photography—capturing the raw, coastal beauty of the Bahamian islands.

From Passion to Craft

Raised between New Providence and Grand Bahama, my obsession with the outdoors and a camera began in childhood. To turn that lifelong fascination into a career, I trained formally with the New York Institute of Photography, mentored under master photographers, and deeply engrossed myself in the craft.

Over the years, I’ve founded The Photographers of the Bahamas to host local workshops, helping shape the next generation of visual storytellers through classes at Queens College Continuing Education.
