Shalik (pronounced: Sha; leak).

Self-Taught Portrait Photographer, Specializing in

capturing candid street life, crowd movement, and playful portraits. Drawing inspiration from human connection, and as of late human disconnection. 33 years of age, I’ve had plenty of time to grow as an observant gay black male. For about ten years, Photography has acted as an escape from reality. A moment for me to step away from the fast-paced society and into deeper layers of myself, layers I call “creative vulnerability”. It’s from here I find the magic in the duality of Light & Darkness. Observing the world through a lens is front row at the Opera house. It’s a ticket with no destination, to understand, to explore, to interact, to reflect, my way to freeze time. Photography is where I leave the bread crumbs for enjoyment, for love, and for change.
