About Shon Shon Curtis Houston
I’m a Creative Director and photographer with nearly a decade of experience building brand, campaign, and content systems rooted in culture, narrative clarity, and visual integrity.My work lives at the intersection of cultural storytelling and strategic brand development—leading projects that translate identity, heritage, and purpose into cohesive visual ecosystems. From commercial campaigns and editorial features to institutional collaborations and gallery exhibitions, I approach every project with the same objective: create work that moves people and strengthens the organizations behind it.My creative foundation was shaped by my upbringing in Dayton and formal training in digital photography at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, and has since evolved into leading visual direction across platforms. I develop concepts, align cross-functional teams, and ensure consistency from campaign strategy through execution—bridging creative vision with operational realities.My portfolio spans advertising, editorial, and cultural work, including features in Cincinnati Magazine and University of Dayton Magazine, as well as exhibitions such as Chasm, An Ode to The Souls of Black Folks at the Riffe Gallery in Columbus. Currently represented for commercial work by OMS Photo, I continue to partner with brands, agencies, and institutions committed to culture-forward storytelling and meaningful audience engagement.I’m especially drawn to environments where creative direction, brand architecture, and content strategy intersect—building systems that are not only visually compelling, but scalable, sustainable, and rooted in purpose.
