When they ask me what I do and who I do it for... 👇🏾 As a black photographer, I use my camera to explore the layers of the Black experience—its struggles, triumphs, and everyday beauty. My work celebrates the richness of Black identity while challenging stereotypes and amplifying voices that go often overlooked. I’m drawn to the authenticity of human stories, capturing moments that reflect resilience, joy, and the quiet strength found in community. Whether documenting personal narratives or broader cultural movements, my photographs invite viewers to see the depth and humanity within each frame. At its heart, my work is about connection—fostering empathy, understanding, and a deeper appreciation for the complexities of Black life. Through every image, I aim to honor the past, celebrate the present, and inspire dialogue for a more inclusive future. Don't get it twisted though, I am still available for assignments, portrait sessions, event Photography and brand narrative. Come hang with #YaFriendlyNeighborhoodCameraMan

Black boy joy used to come easy. Now it feels like something I gotta search for. But every now and then… I see it again and remember it never really left me.

Finally was able to get to them portraits of the 4x5... Not bad for expired film. I'll be bringing it outside and to some more events soon. It's been pretty fun using it. Next step is to get my hands on a better scanner. One that lets me scan 4x5 with no issues 😮‍💨. This stitching and merging is waaaaaaack. And for those that wanna know this information, it's developed in @cinestillfilm monobath. I know some people don't like the stuff but I have no problem with it. I've used it a few times so yeah... There ya go lol . . #4x5camera #4x5film #largeformat
