Hello!

I’m powered by curiosity, wanderlust, hot sauce, and decisions that look questionable on paper but somehow always turn into great stories. I’ve lived in four countries on three continents and called cities, small towns, and at least one place without indoor plumbing “home.” Somewhere along the way, I realized photography is the perfect excuse to meet fascinating humans and tell their stories.

I’m a yogi, mama, former chef, professional wanderer, and inventor of the banana bread grilled cheese. I’m happiest when there’s good light, laughter, and a little chaos in the air. My work lives in that sweet spot between the plan and the accident. The moments I chase are lived-in, joyful, cinematic, and full of heart.

I will absolutely swim with sharks if it means getting the shot.

If you’re still reading, you’re already in trouble.

If you’re smiling, we’re probably a good match.

If you also believe the best stories happen somewhere between the plan and the chaos, say hello.

Let’s spark something interesting together.

  • “Inti’s skill as a photographer is only matched by her warm and infectious personality.  Inti is equally adept at helping fulfill a vision provided to her (and making it even better than you could’ve hoped for) as she is at bringing her own skillful eye and immense talent to any shoot or project. Whether her subject is a superstar, a line cook, or a well plated dish, and her environment is controlled or chaos, Inti is able to run with the punches and find beauty in everything around her. The most difficult part of working with Inti is narrowing in on selects because her work is that good. I cannot recommend Inti enough!”

    — Jason Sifre, Creative Director, Octagon

  • “Y’all are pros and legends in my unpublished book. I mean, how often do you wake up before dawn, get chased off set by rogue sprinklers, sweat through 100-degree heat, and wrap a 14-hour day still somehow laughing? When you're surrounded by this crew. Every single dang one of you made it feel like play. ”

    — Keith Sanders, Creative Director, Strada Made

  • “I had the pleasure of working with Inti on a pharma shoot, and she was fantastic! Her professionalism and approachable demeanor put everyone at ease, making the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Inti's talent for capturing stunning lifestyle and portrait photography, along with her engaging video work, truly brought the brands vision to life. She's not just a skilled photographer, but a joy to work with! Thank you, Inti, for your outstanding work - I would highly recommend her for any of your photography needs!"

    — Ashley Ackerman, Senior Art Director, MRM

  • "Inti St. Clair has a remarkable gift for finding beauty where others might pass it by. She captures life’s quiet, genuine moments with warmth and a sense of ease that makes every image feel both natural and artful. Watching her work is inspiring — her connection with people brings out something deeply real in everyone she photographs. Her work is nothing short of masterful, and I feel truly grateful to have witnessed her artistry up close."

    —Matt Carleson, Creative Director, White Hat

  • "Inti has this incredible ability to spot the subtle beauty and emotion in everyday scenes, whether it's a quiet family interaction, a candid lifestyle moment, or a branded concept that needs real warmth. Inti doesn't just photograph; she connects with people in a way that makes everyone feel seen and comfortable, which shines through in every frame."

    — Stephanie Cohen, Producer

  • “We had the absolute pleasure of working with Inti, and highly recommend her! She was incredible with children, extremely accommodating to families with specific needs, and her attention to detail was excellent. Her warmth, creativity, and professionalism made the entire experience enjoyable, and the results were absolutely stunning. We’re so grateful for her professionalism, creativity, and kindness throughout the process.”

    — Syneos Health Creative Team

  • "Anyone who has worked with Inti knows she is an absolute pleasure to collaborate with. She possesses that rare, hard-to-find blend of being highly driven and detail-oriented, while also bringing strong creative vision to the table and the flexibility to pivot when things go sideways (as they often do). We worked together capturing stills and video for social while shadowing a TV production, and it was truly a blast working with Inti and her production crew - seamless and easy from start to finish. Highly recommend!"

    — Sarah Teichert, ACD, Art, MRM for Health
