Artist Statement

My photography is a heartfelt expression, capturing moments of joy and the vibrant energy of Black life. Each photograph stems from a deep, personal place—my heart, not just my eye, guides my lens. This craft is my form of mindfulness, akin to meditation or breathwork, where each shot crystallizes a moment of profound connection and clarity.

This art is not about documenting events or ceremonies but about capturing the essence of everyday life and the rich tapestry of community interactions. Whether it’s a quiet moment alone or a burst of laughter among friends, my focus is on the genuine, unscripted experiences that celebrate and elevate the spirit of thriving Black communities.

Through my lens, I invite you to see the world as I feel it—from the grandeur of natural landscapes to the intimate moments of daily life. Each image offers a story, a celebration of being, and an invitation to witness the beauty of the moment as seen through the heart.

Join me in this visual journey, where each photograph is not just seen but felt, creating a dialogue between my vision and your perception, all centered around the joy and thriving spirit of the communities I photograph.
