#RickyRenuncia, Puerto Rican community calls for resignation of Ricardo Roselló in NYC
As private messages leaked from the telegram account of Ricardo Roselló, protest emerged all of the United States in solidarity with the island of Puerto Rico. Roselló’s private messages being exposed would be a nightmare for any politician but accompanied with ongoing attempts to recover from disasters and a financial crisis, it would prove too much for even the most seasoned elected official. All of this has Puerto Ricans across the U.S. calling for the Governor to resign.

These protesters gathered from all over the city to voice frustration not only with Ricardo Roselló but with the United States government as a whole. Many considered the control the U.S. Has over Puerto Rico to be no different than the colonial relationship America had with Britain.
JASMINE NICHOLE x ISSA KHARI
So after sitting on these photos for almost a year I've finally completed the photoset. My subject for this shoot is the Uber talented Jasmine Nichole I've known her for about 3 or 4 years now and somehow we have never managed to shoot together. So last year while she was in town for AfroPunk we finally teamed up.

My subject for this shoot is the Uber talented Jasmine Nichole I've known her for about 3 or 4 years now and somehow we have never managed to shoot together. So last year while she was in town for AfroPunk we finally teamed up.
Part of the reason I took so long to edit this set of photos was I knew right out the camera these were my best work to date and that still stands true a year later. Y'all know I don't shoot portraits very often and I fell in love mainly trying to figure out what I was going to do with color grading. Lol. So I had literally come up with at least 4-5 variations of color grading before finalizing this look. This process also birthed 2 originals presets which is something I want to really get into as well. (Soon come, Issa Khari Photography will be selling presets 👀)
The second reason I took so long to edit these photos was that I been in a creative funk most of the winter and spring. But like the saying goes great things come to those who wait. I am extremely proud of these and they were immediately added into my portfolio! Shout out to Jasmine Nichole you can check out her work here!
Alright y'all being that I'm out of this funk let me get back to editing… Stay tuned!

This is a shot from when I first picked up photography. I used to run around the city or hours looking for anything interesting. I was mainly just trying to get as comfortable as possible with my camera so I would just snap away not really focusing too much on composition, I got lucky that day! (This photo is completely candid.) I believe the subject was trying to cross the street and I just happened to be in the right spot.
