Explore Behind the Lens with Zire Photography

Greetings, I am Zire.

I’m Tyrone “Zire” McCants
— a visual storyteller, creative director, and founder of Zire Photos in NJ, where I help people, brands, and communities express their identity and purpose through photography, video, and design.

For over 15 years, I've specialized in photography, creative design, and documentary filmmaking, working at the intersection of art, culture, and community. My lens captures more than just an image—it captures truth, spirit, and story.

From portraits and live music to social impact campaigns and editorial content, my mission is simple:

To celebrate culture, amplify diverse voices, and document real stories that inspire awareness and change.

I’ve created visual content for both national brands and grassroots causes, including Toyota, ESPN, Target.com, Black Enterprise, BET, and community organizations throughout New Jersey, New York, Missouri, St. Louis, and Arizona.

Through Zire Photos, now in NJ, I offer a range of creative services:
