ABOUT ME:

My name is Marisa McCabe and I am a 21-year-old photographer and creative director based in Denver, Colorado. I started photography as a hobby back in 2016 and now work professionally, helping musicians and brands establish identity through immersive visual worlds.

During my time at Florida Atlantic University, I joined Strike Magazine in Boca Raton as a photographer in Spring of 2025 for Issue 11. By my second issue, I was shooting the Fall 2025 cover and lead-photographing features I concepted, like "Punk in a Pinstripe World" and "The New Knockout." By my final semester, Issue 13, I was promoted to Production Director and was chosen to photograph the cover one last time! While living in Florida, I also collaborated with an upcoming indie musician; BAHIAYE to help concept and photograph the visual world for her upcoming album, Siren—a shoot recently featured in The Touch Magazine.

Since then, I have moved back to Colorado, where I direct and produce full-scope visual worlds for vintage stores like The Digging Pit Collective LLC and bands like No Fauna! When I'm not on set, I’m usually in the crowd with my Canon SX740, capturing live sets for artists like The Marías, Beabadoobee, Suki Waterhouse, and Glass Beams!
