See In Black
Historically, Black people have been on the receiving end of the camera lens as the subject matter. The gaze by which we were viewed was not ours. Now, it’s vital that we are narrators of how our stories are told and how we’re seen.
With the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, David McAtee, Tony McDade, and other Black people at the hands of law enforcement, See In Black formed as a collective of Black photographers to dismantle white supremacy and systematic oppression.
See In Black is a collective of Black photographers who uplift and invest in Black visibility. Through the sale of highly-curated prints from Black photographers, we raise funds that support five key pillars of Black advancement: civil rights, education/arts, intersectionality, community building, and criminal justice reform.

I am very pleased to announce my first book, DRILL. This body of work was the recipient of a photobook award by @booooooom . Thank you for believing in the project and the opportunity to publish this work.
This work is a celebration of the South Shore Drill Team, a non-profit organization based in Chicago that uses performance art to empower the youth. In 2020, the SSDT halted their performance due to Covid-19 pandemic, and for the first time in 35 years , the team could not perform at the Bud Billiken Parade. The restrictions also interrupted the close knit community and bonds that developed on the team. As restrictions eased in 2021, I was introduced to the team and spent the year documenting the team’s preparation for their much-anticipated return to the parade. The time spent with them has since culminated in my most recent project, DRILL. Incredible proud of the work and thankful for the team.
