About

Laneecia Ricks is a fashion photographer based in Richmond, VA, who uses medium format and digital photography to explore the intersections of race, gender, identity, and sexuality within the African diaspora in America. Through her editorials and conceptual projects, she seeks to create imagery that celebrates and uplifts the beauty of Black culture and its community. Drawing upon her unique perspective, her work seeks to confront stereotypes and normalize conversations around Black sexuality and racial oppression within the Black community. Laneecia’s practice is an exploration of her own identity and offers an opportunity to represent the stories of African descended people within photography as both subjects and creators.
