Louis Bryant III

makes images to connect our literal experiences with the experiential framework of our cognitive self, creating photographs that represent honest expression and possess a sense of soul.  His perspective embraces photography as a tangible extension of memory, curating both our designation and imprint within the framing of life. Experiences both local and abroad have shaped his image making approach to human experience and the environment. 

Central to his intuitive process is the sharing of time and space, allowing presence to emerge naturally and drawing together the signatures of environment and self to cohesively frame a moment in time. Influenced by artists such as Gordon Parks, Lynsey Addario, Eli Reed, Carrie Mae Weems and Dorothea Lange, his work follows a throughline in documenting visual narratives that hold both personal and universal truths.

His creative experience spans still photography, short form documentaries, and multimedia collaborations, with a deep consideration of the power dynamics involved in image making and implication in shaping collective memory.
