About the Artist
Dominick McDuffie (b.1993) is an emerging multidisciplinary artist specializing in documentary photography. As a self-taught photographer, his photography is rooted in community, cultural preservation, and authentically documenting Black spaces and the people in and around them. Following the tradition of image makers he admires such as Gordon Parks, Teenie Harris, and Ming Smith he uses film photography to give a warmness and a natural feel that he wants to convey in images. His images attempt to invoke feelings within the viewer through images.

“As a documentary photographer, my storytelling and the quality of the images rely on collaboration with the ones I photograph. I learned over time the importance of making people feel empowered, comfortable, and safe when I am documenting them.”
