The Soul of Cooper Young

Spent the weekend roaming the streets of the Cooper Young Festival, where creativity seemed to spill from

every corner. The crowds were buzzing, music drifted through the air, and the sidewalks became a runway of self-expression.

That’s what I love most about this festival—it’s Memphis in its purest form. Bold, unapologetic, and full of life. Every face, every outfit, every fleeting moment tells its own story, and through the lens, those stories come alive in color and light.

This portrait is just one of the countless characters who make events like this unforgettable. A reminder that art doesn’t just live on stages or gallery walls—it walks the streets, wears its personality proudly, and meets you eye-to-eye.
