Got a chance to photograph the beautiful and talented @arilennoxuncut at the #ustmusichall a few weeks back. Down-to-earth, humble and gracious, she is one of #DC's rising stars. Don't sleep - the #DMV is one of the top regions for new music right now. Support your local artists on #Spotify and #SoundCloud and at the record store! Assist by @uncle_iso on the portrait. #locationlighting #profotousa #profoto #portrait #dmvmusic #singersongwriter #dreamville (at U Street Music Hall)

Natasha Guynes draws on personal experience as a former sex worker in her role as head of HER Resilency Center, a nonprofit for vulnerable young women.

Natasha was game for a good photo, but conscious of her background, and wanted to concentrate on where she is now as founder and president of a Washington nonprofit. No problem. A blank wall across the street and one light for a little kick nailed the portrait for @washingtonpost magazine

I went to Howard University over 20 years ago when administration and registration always proved challenging. Today its status as an elite HBCU is precarious. Students are still dealing with the same issues and the university is dealing with a budget stretched too thin. Howard still produces some of the best students, but many of them are dealing with obstacles that the university puts in their way. André Chung

Fascinating story. I photographed a Muslim-American community through their scouting program. All-American values it seems, are universal no matter when you came to this country. For several months I spent time with the scouts and their families at the height of the Trump campaign, as they navigate a fractiured America.

The Fusioneers are a group of offbeat scientists, engineers, and hobbyists who build nuclear reactors in their sheds. These technologists gather every year to show off their inventions and trade bits of uranium and atomic glass. Had a lot of fun photographing these guys and being face-to-face with a nuclear reactor.

Great Sunday magazine! With Bill “Thunder” Allen, the eccentric and idiosyncratic drummer who owns a 172 piece drum set that he keeps in a storage locker that doubles as his band room. We disassembled the whole set to transport it to the legendary Paradox nightclub in Baltimore, which we rented for the shoot. I ran a crew of 14 people to get the cover and opening shots. Bill was nervous as we moved his babies and eager to play once it was set up. Five lights, including one on a boom so high we had to remove the disco ball, is what we needed to get the job done. Thank goodness for catering and a cooler of Gatorade on this 12 hour shoot!

Later in the magazine… I had a great time photographing alumni from the historic Storer College in Harper’s Ferry in W. Virginia. Storer was started shortly after the Civil War to educate former slaves and was one of the first HBCU’s. Storer College closed in 1955, but former students like William Vollin and Ramona Gross still hold it close to their hearts.

Very happy with the display on this! Had less than 10 minutes to shoot this in the dark studio before getting kicked out. Shot this piece for The Washington Post Magazine on Soul Cycling, the hottest new fitness trend that even FLOTUS is up on. André Chung.
