I’ll be the first to tell you, I have more titles than the average man and those titles require tons of work, but no two days are the same. There’s so much that goes on behind the scenes of an “average day”. I’m looking forward to sharing a tad bit more with yall soon.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with GRAMMYS to capture video content for the past 5+ years. The work has included nomination videos and creative content like Behind the Boards, Where do you keep Grammy, and more.

See this whole interview with 𝗠𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗬 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗗𝗢𝗠 𝗛𝗔𝗥𝗧 on the Grammy’s YouTube channel.

I am currently available for client work for the fall.

Back in 2016 Karl Ferguson, Jr. and I hosted a workshop out of his old studio in Chinatown. Nic & Syeda 🌸 came out to model for the group of students. It was a great day.

A lot of my followers haven’t been around long enough to remember that me and Kia Marie made lifestyle portraits in SoHo, Dumbo, and Fidi almost 10 years ago.

Influential, early.

Most of yall don’t even know that I only made photos outdoors for the first 3-4 years of my career, because I was intimated by studio lighting lol.

Influential, early.

These portraits of Kéla Walker | 7x Emmy-Nominated TV Host + Producer went triple platinum in the streets. It’s crazy to think that we made these photos almost 8 years ago.

I don’t publicize my wedding work because I decline more clients than I accept. It is honestly one of my favorite things to capture, but the risk of it and the legal protections needed to be able to make the art often outweigh the reward.

Let me know if you’re interested in discussing it further, or if you’d like to have me photograph your wedding. It’s not a guarantee I’ll say yes, but i think it’s worth the ask.

Everything is a lot, so sharing feels like extra extra work at times. I prefer to work in silence most times. But, let’s work.
