Kevaughn Reyes

Photography serves as a way for Baltimore-based artist Kevaughn Reyes to share personal stories and bring attention to communities often overlooked in mainstream representation. Originally from Florida, Reyes works with digital and film photography, focusing on Black and LGBTQ experiences through intimate portraits and everyday moments.

His approach emphasizes the individuality of each subject, capturing expressions of confidence, joy, and vulnerability. Rather than reinforcing familiar stereotypes, Reyes presents a more personal perspective on identity and Black masculinity. His photographs create space for people to be seen and appreciated on their own terms, highlighting the importance of representation and human connection.

In 2019, Reyes received recognition from the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. His photography was displayed at the School of Visual Arts in 2020 and the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2026. He also participated in the Forbidden Fruit event in 2026.

For Reyes, photography is a means of celebrating identity, amplifying underrepresented voices, and sharing stories that deserve greater visibility.
