Photo Poets is a street photography feature, curated by Aja Joi Grant. In this issue we feature Vivica F. Satterwhite.

My name is Vivica Satterwhite, I am a 24-year-old Cleveland native and self-taught photographer.

I was first introduced to photography by my grandmother, who loved film and captured many family moments on film with her keen eye for shots.

I’ve been through plenty of obstacles through my journey, and I continue to grow in my practice. Photography is a therapeutic medium for me and I love to highlight diversity, bright color tones, and sharpness in my imagery. I aim to continue creating a legacy and meeting great people on my journey.

“The best thing about a picture is that it never changes, even when the people in it do.” — Andy Warhol
