Damn GOOD Designer GENES

One of Nashville's leading photographers, Joseph Patrick's work exalts the joy and beauty of Black culture through powerful portraiture. In line with his previous successful exhibits Socialized Experiment and Body of Work, the new collection Damn GOOD Designer GENES looks at liberation through a lens of lineage, love, and legacy -- all with a message of self-acceptance at the core. Patrick's images offer a counter-response to the "clean girl aesthetic," centering dark skin against bright colors, reclaiming the power that has always been there.
