A professional photographer who gained recognition for receiving the 2015 Gordon Parks Foundation Fellowship, he has made a name for himself both through his powerful imagery and his community-driven initiatives. One of his most notable contributions is founding Through Their Eyes, an activist organization based in Baltimore that provides children with access to cameras and photography equipment, empowering them to tell their own stories. His work with the organization has had a lasting impact on young aspiring photographers in the area.

In addition to his community efforts, his photography career took off on a national level in May 2015, when a photo he captured during the Baltimore Uprising was featured on the cover of Time Magazine. This moment marked the beginning of his rise to prominence and helped establish him as a visual storyteller with a unique perspective. Originally born and raised in West Baltimore, he continues to highlight the city’s culture and struggles through his lens.

With over 150,000 followers on Instagram, he regularly shares his compelling Baltimore-based photography, offering a window into the lives and landscapes of the city. His work not only documents everyday life but also sparks conversations around social justice and representation. Through his art and activism, he remains a vital voice in both the photography world and his local community.
