Maria D. Skidmore founded Syren Franco Photography in 2010, naming her photography business after her alter ego and frontwoman of her decade long musical project, Blackwater Prophecy.

With a background in modeling, and her passion for performance art, she takes her own experiences and incorporates her emotion and empathy into her photography.  

Now headquartered in San Diego, Syren Franco Photography thrives to preserve the beautiful memories and emotions of people, their life, and their art throughout Southern California.
