This anthology is my love letter to Black women- poured straight from my heart and from deep in my soul. “An Ode to Black Women in Black & White” is a curated collection of every b&w portrait I’ve had the honor of creating since 2018.

I would love for you to own a piece of this history.

With our exhibition only a few weeks away, we’ve officially placed the final order. Copies are available in limited quantities, and it would mean the world to have your support in purchasing just one copy if you can!

Grab yours at the link in my bio. Love y’all downnnnn! 🖤

We often think these sessions are for us, but they’re actually for the people who love us most.

Whether it’s for our children or for our own mothers, everyone deserves a portrait of their family that they are proud of… not a “perfect” version. We all deserve to see the way we were looked at and the way we were held.

For those who still have their mothers and grandmothers here: please don’t wait. I know firsthand how much those images matter when they are all you have left to hold. Giving a grandmother the gift of a portrait with her grandchildren is a legacy of dignity and pride that outlives us all.

This exhibition marks the release of An Ode to Black Women in Black & White, a visual anthology by Crystal Byrd Uqdah, created between 2018-2025.

The collection brings together black-and-white portraits of women who have stepped in front of her camera - artists, mothers, leaders, dreamers. Though made across different moments in time, the portraits share a common thread: presence, elegance, and a kind of beauty that does not seek attention. It simply exists.

Working in black and white removes distraction. It distills the image to form, light, and expression. It allows the woman to lead.

Presented as an intimate, one-day studio exhibition, the work offers a focused selection from the anthology and its first public showing.

Did you know that children who have photos with their parents grow up with higher self-esteem and a stronger sense of belonging? Investing in family photos isn’t just about capturing the milestones but it’s also nurturing confidence and building a foundation of love and security. Studies show that children who see themselves in family photos develop a deeper understanding of their identity and value within the family unit.
