Welcome to the Journey

It’s Been a Long Time Coming…

What’s up, family—

Welcome to the blog.

I’ve been behind the lens for over a decade, but this space isn’t just about photography—it’s about the journey. The growth. The wins, the missteps, and everything in between. No highlight reel. Just the real.

Photography is my foundation, but music—especially Hip-Hop—has always been the heartbeat. It’s shaped how I see, how I move, and how I tell stories. That rhythm, that rawness, that rebellion—it’s all baked into my work, whether I’m on the street, backstage at a show, or in the studio chasing the perfect light.

This blog is my way of slowing things down. Social media’s cool, but it’s fast and forgettable. Here, I can go deeper—share what I’m learning, what I’m questioning, and how life off-camera fuels everything I create.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Notes from the field – what’s working, what’s not, and what I’m still figuring out

  • Reflections on creativity, growth, and staying grounded as a Black artist in a world that moves fast

  • My relationship with music and culture, and how Hip-Hop keeps inspiring my approach to both business and art

  • Community – eventually, a space for like-minded creatives to connect and build something real

I don’t have all the answers—and I’m not chasing perfection. I’m here, I’m learning, and I’m documenting the process as it unfolds.

If any of this hits home, stick around. Let’s grow together.
