More Than a Photographer.
A Creative Partner.
A Creative Partner.
Based in Denver, CO. Available for commercial, editorial, & campaign projects worldwide.
My name is Beauty Astria Kussoy. Producers, creative agencies, and directors hire me when they need more than a photographer, they need a strategic partner who understands that a successful project is born from both a powerful vision and operational excellence. I am the artist you bring in to execute a concept with soul, and the project manager you trust to do it on time and on budget.

📝 My Approach
As a first-generation Indonesian-American artist, I learned early on to see the world through a lens of nuance and belonging. My path was forged at the Denver School of the Arts, where I discovered that a powerful image doesn’t just capture a moment, it builds a world. This is the "why" behind my work: I believe strategic, human-centered storytelling is the most effective tool for creating connection and driving culture forward.

🌍 What I Bring to Your Project
A successful shoot requires more than a good eye. It requires leadership, foresight, and a deep respect for the collaborative process. I bring my full, multifaceted skill set to every project.
• Creative Direction & Artistic Vision: With a BFA in Fine Arts, I bring a trained artist's perspective to composition, lighting, and mood. I don’t just capture what's there; I work with you to build the narrative and elevate the aesthetic from concept to final image.
• Project Management & Leadership: My experience on the board of the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) and managing complex multimedia projects means I understand the operational demands of a commercial shoot. I am adept at building systems, leading teams, and ensuring every detail is tracked.
• A Collaborative, Human-Centered Process: I thrive in collaborative environments. I listen intently to your goals, adapt to creative challenges on the fly, and ensure that everyone — from the talent to the crew — feels seen, respected, and empowered to do their best work on set.

🎞️ My Signature Aesthetic
My visual style is a deliberate fusion of cinematic art and authentic emotion. It is best described as:
✔ Soulful, editorial energy with a high-fashion sensibility.
✔ Nostalgic, romantic color palettes with rich, textured finishes.
✔ A deep sense of stillness and intimacy, even in commercial work.
✔ An intentional blend of polished direction and candid, embodied moments.
