I was lucky enough to be invited to come document a studio session with one of my favorite rappers and good friend, WARA, formerly known as WARA FROM THA NBHD. I knew the photos would be used for his upcoming Glide Magazine article. So I was very excited to capture his new work in progress! We were in a studio in east Atlanta called “Big Trouble”, a beautiful and unique, private home studio. We were accompanied that night with some of WARA’s closest friends, TU! and Oliver Blue, both talented producers credited on WARA’s latest album release titled “INFLUENZA”. On this night, the guys worked on a new project anticipated to release later this year. Some of the photos are stamped 03.18.23 it was actually a Friday, March 17th, 2023. St Patrick’s Day! I feel lucky to be inspired by talented friends. Above is a slideshow of some of my favorite shots from that night. To learn more about WARA read his new feature on Glide Magazine, here.
