PHOTOGRAPHER

Mansa Lamont Bey is a street photographer whose images form the backbone of his poetry, capturing the vibrant story of Cleveland and its people. Specializing in landscape, abstract, and nature photography, Mansa employs a guerrilla photography approach—a spontaneous, point-and-shoot method that authentically captures the essence of black culture and everyday life. His work celebrates the profound beauty in the normality of black existence, portraying the simple act of living with depth and authenticity.

Inspired by the people around him, his family, and the streets of Cleveland, Mansa's photography offers a powerful glimpse into the richness of black culture, elevating the ordinary into something truly remarkable.
