The remarkable @Kerrywashington for @washingtonpost photographed by me ❤️

It brings me the utmost joy to be closing out year 2024 with this new body of work. It’s been a huge privilege to have been in Washington D.C and to have shared a space with none other than THE Kerry Washington herself! From watching her role as Olivia Pope to Mrs. Captain Charity Adams through a computer screen, to physically working with her irl just feels so farfetched….LIKE??? Heard you God! She’s someone whose work ethic I’ve long admired and have been deeply inspired by. She’s everything I imagined her to be — one of the purest, most sweetest souls I’ve ever exchanged my energy with. Exactly everything younger me envisioned this moment to feel like.

(True story): Just days prior to receiving this assignment I caught myself questioning if any of my work was moving me in the direction forward and sure enough, God used his good graces to remind me I am right on track. Creating these images has been a huge labor of love and a testament to self and my journey. The most extreme, yet obvious reminder that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be, walking in my God given purpose and can’t nobody take that away from me.

I am completely honored to have my images accompany this story in which it highlights Kerry’s recent leading role in @netflix’s new @sixtripleeight_netflix movie directed by @tylerperry.

To @mayanmvalentine, this was all made possible because of you and I can’t thank you enough for entrusting me. I am deeply grateful for your support and allowing me the creative freedom to make these images I’m so happy with!!!

To my assistant @fortunaphoto_, thank you for being my backbone throughout this entire experience and helping me make my vision come to life.

From his father's Polaroid archives to the pages of Vogue Italia, Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and Essence. 📸

We sat down with photographer Elianel Clinton to talk about his multicultural upbringing, the stories that don't always get told, and Espejo—his most personal work yet, exploring Puerto Rican heritage, memory, and what we carry forward.

ESPEJO, live on view 🇵🇷
 June 5 — June 30 @photodom.nyc 1717 Broadway #310  Brooklyn, NY 11207

Looking back at these images and feeling grateful for everyone who came through. Seeing ESPEJO the book and poster in so many hands deadass had me choked up the entire night.

To @RaymondCroft — thank you for believing in ESPEJO and jumping in with only a few months to help shape the design, layout, and art direction of the book and exhibition. It’s been an honor to build this with you and your vision.

A huge thank you to @Iankofj and @documentbrooklyn at @photodom.nyc for creating space for artists to share work and gather community. It’s always special to experience art in a room full of people.

To @maylinlegoff of @ariesrisingprojects — thank you for years of support, guidance, and belief in my work. You’ve been championing me long before this exhibition and I’m forever grateful.

I’m incredibly grateful to @caelaariel and the entire @kehcamera team for believing in ESPEJO and supporting it from the very beginning. Your support helped bring both my first photo book and second solo exhibition into the world, and I can’t thank you enough.

Thank you to @shetromp at @polaroid for providing the film and cameras that helped turn the night into a time capsule we could freeze, sign, and date.

Thank you to @wetransfer @wepresent for including ESPEJO in this month’s selected artists and for sharing the work with such care. And thank you @gemfletcher for a beautiful conversation and for carrying the story with so much thoughtfulness.

Thank you to @thecolorhousenyc for processing and scanning the opening night photographs, and for being the lab I’ve trusted with my work for over a decade.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who showed up for ESPEJO in the ways they could — in person or from afar, through conversation, reposts, book or poster purchases, or simply by holding space for the work.

Over the last four years, ESPEJO became possible through the trust, patience, and generosity of so many people who allowed me to photograph them, listen to their stories, and share space with them.

This work is shaped by every subject, collaborator, friend, and supporter who became part of it.

@alberta.lamisi, @avgelie, @avtoniio, @christianjtc, @itsmedanielpr, @diegopereza, @elianpaulpr, @sadboisjournal, @s.mbyisma, @_ivanantonio, @_serivana, @jvydenn, @jeanoyolart, @julietazul, @mattlouispr, @pamelaojedapr, @rafaeldeleeon, @yarek__ and @yazer_i.

Special thanks to @photodom.nyc , @ariesrisingprojects, @kehcamera and @polaroid for supporting the exhibition and independent creative work.

See yall tonight 🫂 by @ohyeahitseli
