3rd annual black business expo recap
PREMIERE PHOTOGRAPHER | MICHAEL ANTHONY TYLER-SMITH
Pictures can have their own story when looking at them. As a young artist growing up, I always had a dreamer’s mind; a voice that was silent but working quietly in the dark. As a young man, I envisioned “The Melanin Experience” to be so many things but it always came down to Black / Melanin Excellence.
“The Melanin Experience” is a story that is told by the viewers (you!). When you look at my work I want you to envision the beauty / the pain / the bold and allow yourself to get creative with a story. I welcome you to my world and hope you enjoy the creative field I want to share with you.
