Two weeks before we flew to Atlanta to photograph the Black Panther cast, I visited Disney for the first time to show my portfolio.  After the meeting, Disney’s Jason Dunne and Laurence Schroeder hired me for the project.  The shoot was in conjunction with Entertainment Weekly’s cover under the […]

White Famous Coast to Coast

October 19, 2017 by kwakualston

      NYC Subway It’s been exciting to see White Famous’s show posters popping up coast to coast after photographing the cast of Jay Pharoah’s new show that premiered this month.
