Othello Grey is a self taught photographer who’s built a reputation for his ability to communicate nuance while blurring the lines between editorial and commercial photography. He hopes to use his platform to aid in removing the guise of beauty and deconstructing the implicit biases associated with Black people and to become the reference point of a Black artist that he never had as child.
