OWNER + LEAD PHOTOGRAPHER

AIREONNA MCCALL-DUBÉ

CREATIVE DIRECTOR. PHOTOGRAPHER. EVENT CURATOR. ALL-AROUND VIBE ARCHITECT

Cleveland raised me—and like the city itself, I’m a mix of grit, heart, hustle, and soul. Around here, you learn to build from the ground up. You find your light and protect it. You earn every win. That energy is at the core of everything I do—whether I’m capturing a moment or designing the space it lives in.

I’m a multidisciplinary creative with a passion for storytelling and a serious eye for detail. My background blends photography, event planning, and brand-building into a full-spectrum experience. I don’t just shoot—I curate, direct, and bring visions to life.

My journey started with a camera in college, chasing light and emotion. I earned my B.A. in Psychology with minors in Philosophy and Art, sharpening my lens not just artistically but emotionally. I’ve been creating ever since—leading with intuition, fueled by intention, and obsessed with the power of authenticity.

Today, my husband/best friend and I run Extraordinaire Photos, our studio inside the iconic 78th Street Studios—Cleveland’s creative epicenter. We specialize in portrait, commercial, and event photography, but the work doesn’t stop there. We also use our space to uplift emerging artists, offering them a platform to connect with the community, exhibit their work, and tap into one of the most electric art networks in the city. Our studio is as much about people as it is about pictures. It’s about presence, connection, and creative freedom.

I’ve spent over 10 years building a career that merges art and experience. Whether I’m photographing a product drop, styling a brand shoot, or planning a launch party from scratch—I bring an eye for aesthetics and a brain for flow. And always, always the vibe.

At the end of the day, my goal is simple:

To bring out the light I see in others—elevating one’s inner self to the outside world.

Outside of the studio, I’m a mural-chaser, cat mom, smoothie snob, and a big believer in supporting small businesses and local creatives. I keep plants alive, playlists fresh, and my community close. Around here, it’s always community over competition—because we all shine brighter when we shine together.

Let’s build something bold, beautiful, and real.

JULIAN DUBÉ

HEY, SUP I'M DUBÉ

Born and raised in Cleveland into a family of artists and photographers, I grew up working art shows and training under established photographers and artists in the area at a young age.

My photography journey started long before the digital era, I grew up working in dark rooms and studying film photography for four years in high school, primarily I am a black and white film specialist. Photography has always been a passion of mine, whether it was capturing wildlife, landscape, architecture, live music, or band photos, I will still and always be infatuated with the art of shooting. My second passion would be utilizing the graphic design skills that I have learned over the years for projects like creating band flyers, promos and utilizing unique fonts that I invent.

In my professional journey as a photographer, I have extensive training and knowledge when it comes to professional portraiture, family portraits, candids, wedding and engagement photography, live concerts, and event coverage. Working as a wedding vendor for over ten years has given me extensive insight into the scene. I have worked as a DJ, Caterer, Photographer, and Planner while also being an ordained minister with the Church of Life. I often refer to myself as a "Jack of All Trades", you name it and I've probably done it, and if I haven't I'm a real quick study.

Apart from being a professional photographer and graphic designer, I am also a musician. I play guitar, bass and work as a producer in my current band. I'm an avid vinyl and art collector, sticker enthusiast, gear head, cat dad, and bad golfer. When I'm not running around pursuing all of my hobbies, I'm fueling my soul through my foodie addiction and supporting local businesses.

Overall, I consider myself a socialite and for obvious reasons, you could say I'm a pretty cool dude.
