Wesly “michael RAKIM” eDWARDS

My second middle name “Rakim” stems from the 90’s hip-hop artist, ode to my mothers taste in music. Virginia Beach, Virginia proved to be my early roots and after a few stops down the east coast my home was made here in Jacksonville, FL. 2009 is my first memory of ever touching a camera not yet knowing just how intrinsic the craft was engrained in my shutter finger.

As a local photographer based in Jacksonville, FL, I find immense joy and pride in capturing the essence of life through my lens. With a specialization in Lifestyle, Branding, and Creative Portraiture, I aim to create images that transcend the ordinary and delve into the realm of artistry.

Every photograph I take is a labor of love, meticulously composed to tell a story and evoke emotions. Through careful attention to detail, I curate images that embody the very soul of the subjects I photograph, preserving their essence in a timeless visual narrative. Each frame holds the potential to transcend the boundaries of time and space, inviting the viewer to embark on a journey of self-reflection and introspection.
