COUTUREBOY is a studio multidisciplinary practice that operates at the intersection of identity, photography, commerce, and advertising theory. It is my imagination set free as a critique of a particularly culturally glamorized form of masculinity that informed my identity through my Uncles Cecil and Ivory Sharp. It is an ongoing inquiry of a potential life uninterrupted by depicting the best of their unresolved imagined selves and, in some cases, showing their vulnerability, often overshadowed by societal expectations of masculinity by focusing on the human presence, not just a body.

My current investigations center the constructed entanglements of branding through the lens of advertising.
