Learning and Unlearning with Reginald Cunningham

Reggie is a freelance photographer and entrepreneur based out of Washington D.C. Although he has been surrounded by photography his entire life, he spent more of his young adulthood searching for other career paths. He eventually found his passion for the creative industry and has honed in on portrait, event, and music photography. He also is the founder of the brand Be Pure Black. 

His work has been featured in the Washington Post, Huffington Post, Forbes, Ebony and Cosmopolitan magazine and even the cover of British Vogue.
