Jenny Hill for Lonesome Traveler🙏🏾 — It’s always so fun working with other creatives. Jenny is the talented owner of Lonesome Traveler (@lonesome_traveler) here in St. Louis. Self taught designer and artisan, she creates beautiful vintage inspired neckties, pocket squares and other menswear accessories. (We collaborated on a very special project, I’ll share more about later😊). I was really excited to create these images with her. Jenny’s energy and passion are contagious, but I love the quiet moments we created during this shoot.🧵👔🙏🏾 . . . . . #Stlouis #lonesometraveler #localartists #stlartisan #stlartist #menswear #portrait #freelens #stlmagazine #vscofilm #stlfaces #vscoportrait #ig_mood #discoverportrait #portraitphotography #profile_vision #bleachmyfilm #postmoreportraits #portraitpage #igpodium_portraits #portraiture #explorestlouis #stlouisgram #stl #nikonphotography #nikontop #focalmarked (at Tower Grove South, St. Louis) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwaLO-wD3nc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1kmn3lfpa023f

Matt James for the latest issue @wakeforestmagazine🎩🙌🏾 — I spent a hot day in August walking with Matt and the students of P.S. 188 as he guided them on a culinary journey through the Lower East Side. Matt developed @abcfoodtours to educate low-income and homeless students in the area about small business owners (many of them immigrants) who’ve overcome similar circumstances to find success and impact their communities. Thanks to Matt for allowing me to tag along, and to WF Magazine for a great assignment🎩🙏🏾 . . . . . #WakeForest #GoDeacs #MattJames #Abcfoodtours #LES #Lowereastside #TompkinsSquarePark #profoto #nikond810 #WakeForestMagazine #WFUMag #Alumni #vscoportrait #ig_mood #discoverportrait #portraitphotography #profile_vision #bleachmyfilm #postmoreportraits #portraitpage #igpodium_portraits #nycprimeshot #what_i_saw_in_nyc #ig_nycity #nikonphotography #nikontop #focalmarked (at Tompkins Square Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt1yBRUDv3l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p8ttm8udev7t

Mike Wheeler & the Kearny Scots for @whatahowler⚽️ - I’ve played my whole life, and still do when I can. My touch is worse, I’m a little slower, and recovery takes a lot longer, but I still love the game. So when I was asked to shoot a story about an over-30 men’s team in New Jersey, I jumped at the chance to photograph some guys who knew exactly how I felt🙏🏾⚽️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 - Thanks to @ecapossela for a fun assignment and @maeagency for making the time🙌🏾 . . . . . #Howlermag #howlermagazine #whatahowler #soccer #football #kearnyscots #soccerlife #futbol #kearnynewjersey #brenizermethod #nikond810 #vscoportrait #ig_mood #discoverportrait #portraitphotography #profile_vision #bleachmyfilm #postmoreportraits #portraitpage #igpodium_portraits #newjersey #hoboken #jersey #nikonphotography #nikontop #focalmarked (at Kearny, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/BseCXgQDMZq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r7cfmcodpgux

Jessie for “Imposter”🙏🏾 - Jessie and I talked about embracing our experiences to influence our art, artists who aren’t afraid to be themselves, and the importance of representation in media for multi racial youth.🙌🏾 - “Imposter” explores the idea of Racial Imposter Syndrome, or the feeling multi-racial people experience when they can’t claim a single racial identity. My whole life I’ve grappled with my identity and my position within two different communities, and I’m excited to share the stories of people with similar experiences.
