AFRICAN ART SPECIAL

#CARY FAGAN

We start with African artist:

Cary Fagan

Arizona-born and Houston based, photographer and film-
maker Cary Fagan has already racked up substantial indus-
try credits; contributing visuals for Solange’s “When I Get
Home” project. As well as shooting the cover of A$AP Rocky’s
2018 album “Testing” – the latter which landed on Billboard’s
top 20 album covers of the year.

The visual artist who is of Egyptian descent credits his dad as
the reason he first picked up a camera. Describing his work
as “timeless”, Cary explains that “it holds memories” and
that he hopes people “will gain insight to what they are going
through and how they relate” when they look at it.
“In regards to photography and my insight towards the me-
dium, I feel that photography has evolved me and pushed me
to express myself in new forms of art. Today I barely pick up
my camera realising the lessons it has taught me, though the
passion for photography still exists strongly - I am ready to
move forward.”
