About my work
As a Black photographer, I work to create empowering images that have an inspirational quality. I want to feel proud of the images I create and in term, make the viewer feel proud or happy. I believe photographs have the ability to open minds and change hearts so if my images can create a positive world view of my subjects, then I feel I have accomplished my goal.
