“WHO’S YOUR DADDY?”

The primary inspiration for “Who’s Your Daddy?” is that I was raised by my Black father, and to this day we have a beautiful, healthy relationship. From that personal reality, I sought to see healthy father-son relationships in the world, particularly given the prevailing narratives of Black father absenteeism; I wanted to reflect an alternative reality. “Who’s Your Daddy?” is photographed exclusively on a Harlem Street corner. The grey wall is a simple, sterile palette to frame the collaborators I sought for this black-and-white series.
