For years, I sat on this photo for many reasons one being it wasn’t a normal celebrated image as we think of 90s hip-hop legends and or icons. But somewhere around 2020 while sorting through these images, I kept looking deeper and deeper into this specific moment. There was something unique raw and real about it that at some point I felt I needed to share it.

Thankfully after the first time I shared it on social media back in 2021, Lisa Rios responded something to the effect of this is a real family moment.

I am grateful to so many special moments captured during the 90s and also grateful for the moments in between to tell broader story about 90s hip-hop and culture.

NEW CHAPTER IN MY PHOTOGRAPHY JOURNEY…

I am beyond honored and excited to share that I have officially signed with Vespera Gallery to represent my photography.

When I first picked up a camera all those years ago, I never imagined where the journey would take me. I was simply a kid with a camera, a love for music and culture, and a desire to capture the moments happening around me.

Looking back, I realize how fortunate I was to have witnessed and documented such an incredible period in Hip Hop history. What started as a passion has grown into a lifelong journey of preserving memories, telling stories, and sharing moments that might otherwise have been forgotten.

To now have my work represented alongside some of the most respected and influential photographers in music history is truly humbling.

Vespera Gallery is doing something I deeply appreciate. They are bringing together extraordinary photographers whose images have helped shape the visual history of music, while celebrating the stories, relationships, and creative energy behind those photographs.

Their mission says it beautifully:

“We connect music fans with the art they love through authentic, hand-signed photographs that preserve the artists’ creative legacy.”

That philosophy means a great deal to me because, at the heart of everything I’ve photographed, it has always been about the music, the people, the culture, and the moments.

I’m incredibly proud to join a gallery representing such remarkable photographers, including:

Alison Braun Alison Braun
Chris Cuffaro Chris Cuffaro
Joseph Cultice Joseph Cultice
Lynn Goldsmith Lynn Goldsmith
Bob Gruen Bob Gruen
Michael Lavine Michael Lavine
Herman Leonard
Terry O’Neill Terry O'Neill CBE
Scarlet Page Scarlet Page
Chris Stein Cʜʀɪs Sᴛᴇɪɴ
Baron Wolman Baron Wolman

And many more talented artists.

From the streets and studios of 1990s Hip Hop to galleries and collections today, it’s been a journey I could never have predicted.

I’m sincerely grateful to the team at Vespera Gallery for believing in my work and welcoming me into their family of photographers.
