About Blacklight Imaging
Train Your Mind To See The Light in Every Situation
Blacklight Imaging is an independent creative agency built for brands, institutions, and campaigns that care how they're seen—and how they make people feel.
Meet Brittany Dacoff
Founder & Creative Director
Blacklight Imaging began with a clear purpose: to create visuals that honor identity, build confidence, and move with intention. From day one, we've aimed to do more than capture a moment—we work to elevate it.
At the center of everything we do is people. Their energy, their stories, their vision. Whether we're shooting courtside, behind the scenes, or at the heart of a campaign, we lead with care because we know what it means to be seen. Photography is the craft, but connection is the throughline.
What started as a personal lens has grown into an independent creative agency trusted by national brands, cultural institutions, and mission-driven teams. We've led projects on stadium screens, campaign trails, and corporate stages—always guided by the belief that visuals don't just represent a story. They carry it.
Today, Blacklight operates as an independent creative agency—led by me and powered by a trusted group of creative leads and specialists who bring both technical excellence and emotional intelligence to every engagement. Each team is assembled with intention, scaled to match the moment, and aligned around a shared standard: clarity, care, and creative leadership at every turn.
Whether we're working behind the scenes of a high-profile event or building a campaign from the ground up, we bring more than visuals. We bring presence, process, and a human-centered approach that makes every project feel personal—because to us, it is.
What We Stand For
Our work lives at the intersection of precision and presence. We lead with clarity, edit with integrity, and show up in ways that make the moment—and the message—resonate.
Visual Integrity
Every image we deliver is crafted with intention—from how we light a space to how we honor skin tone in post-production. Visual integrity isn't an outcome, it's a commitment.
Cultural Fluency
We bring deep emotional intelligence and cultural awareness to every project. Our work honors identity, builds confidence, and creates visuals that resonate authentically.
Strategic Clarity
We don't just capture moments—we shape how they're remembered. Our visual direction is rooted in strategic thinking that aligns with your brand, mission, and audience.
The Gap We Fill
In a saturated visual landscape, it's easy to find someone with a camera. It's harder to find a visual partner who sees the whole picture.
Today, visuals are everywhere. Everyone's a content creator. Everyone's selling coverage. But when the moment is high-stakes—and the visuals aren't just documentation but part of the message—that's where most fall short.
That abundance has created a different kind of scarcity: a lack of thoughtfulness, focus, and cultural precision. Too often, visuals are produced as transactions—quick deliverables with little context, intention, or direction. Coverage without definition. Footage without feeling.
Blacklight Imaging was built for that gap.
We're not a freelance vendor. We're not a content mill. We're a creative agency trusted by clients who need more than deliverables. They need presence. Direction. Emotional precision. Visual leadership.
Our work begins before the shutter clicks. It lives in how we listen, how we prepare, how we show up. Clients bring us in because we can move fast without losing detail. Because we understand the visual, emotional, and cultural stakes of what's unfolding. Because when moments matter, we know how to hold it.
Shining Light on Extraordinary People
Our mission extends beyond client work. We're committed to documenting and celebrating extraordinary people of color thriving in business, culture, and community—creating visual narratives that honor their stories and amplify their impact.
Truth & Transparency
We approach every project with honesty and openness. No fluff, no overselling—just clear communication and authentic representation.
Inclusivity & Representation
We create space for diverse voices and perspectives, ensuring that the visuals we produce reflect the full spectrum of human experience.
