Enya Umanzor: Personality, Platform, and Presence

A Social Star With Creative Range

With a digital presence that spans platforms and genres, Enya Umanzor has evolved from viral YouTuber to podcast host, style muse, and internet It girl. Her online voice is bold, funny, and totally authentic — a tone she brings to every project, whether it’s sitting behind a mic or stepping in front of a camera.

This shoot for Who What Wear captures that evolution in full frame. Styled and shot to showcase both edge and ease, the editorial leans into Enya’s signature blend of high-low fashion, expression, and attitude.

Emergency Intercom & Digital Identity

Beyond fashion, Enya is known for Emergency Intercom, the cult-favorite podcast she co-hosts that blends absurd humor, pop culture takes, and vulnerable storytelling. It’s one of the key platforms where her Gen Z audience connects — and it’s a big part of what shaped the tone of this shoot.

The photos reflect her duality: composed but offbeat, polished but self-aware — all shot in a way that feels made for the scroll but rooted in substance.

Why Interwoven Studios Was the Perfect Fit

Not all studios can match the rhythm of a high-energy editorial shoot — but Interwoven’s Culver City space made it look easy. Spanning 7,000 square feet, the location offered both the creative flexibility and comfort that production teams crave. From a 35-foot white cyc wall and 15-foot green screen to colored backdrops, multiple staging zones, and a full kitchen, the space was ready to meet every creative need on set.

What really elevated the experience, though, was Interwoven’s client-first culture. With features like a glam area equipped with five makeup stations, a podcast/media room, private green rooms, and drive-in access for large equipment, the studio delivered a seamless experience from call time to wrap. Add in thoughtful details like on-site parking, surround sound speakers, and production rentals, it’s easy to see why top-tier shoots keep coming back.

Designed for Editorial Shoots

Editorial productions require room to build, light, test, adjust, and deliver — and Interwoven Culver City was designed to support that full arc. The team made use of custom backdrops, flexible lighting conditions, and set support to craft a distinct, brand-aligned visual story.

Whether adjusting for last-minute styling tweaks or fine-tuning light for skin tone and texture, the studio gave the team room to create without interruption — a big reason it continues to be a go-to for fashion and media crews alike.

Bringing the Shoot to Life

The set came to life through a smart, collaborative build — with lighting design by Lance Williams and set design by Marie Sommers and Skye Whitley Guzman. The lighting leaned into dimensional warmth and movement, creating a soft but cinematic atmosphere that flattered both wardrobe and skin.

Set elements were kept intentional and unfussy — graphic walls, layered texture, and just enough visual tension to frame Enya without overpowering the story. The result felt polished but personality-driven: editorial with edge.

Spotlight on Zamar Velez

Zamar Velez Behind the Lens

Capturing Enya’s range on camera was photographer Zamar Velez, whose work is known for blending striking portraiture with an editorial finish that feels both intimate and elevated. Zamar’s ability to draw out natural energy from talent while still maintaining total visual control is what makes his photography stand out — and it shows in every frame from this shoot.

His creative instinct and attention to detail helped translate Enya’s presence into stills that felt confident, clean, and unexpected — a perfect match for the tone Who What Wear was after. You can view more of Zamar’s portfolio here.

From Studio to Story

From the moment Enya stepped on set, the energy was clear — this wasn’t just about capturing looks, it was about telling a story. Through the camera, lighting, and set choices, her humor, confidence, and individuality came through in full color. Each look felt like a different version of her personality, shaped by the creative team and supported by the flexibility of the Culver City studio space.

While the final visuals are editorial and polished, the shoot itself unfolded with the kind of behind-the-scenes synergy that makes creative work click — relaxed, intentional, and creatively fluid.
