Lyric Takes A Beat — A Photograph by Cara Elise Taylor

 

About the Photographer

Cara Elise Taylor is a writer and documentary storyteller from the Midwest, shooting primarily with analog modes of photography and videography. The themes in her work include nostalgia/memory, food, Afrolatinidad, Caribbean life, family, and community. She loves color, candor, natural light, and using visual art to stay connected to her body.

She’s perpetually interested in displaying the intimate and ordinary feelings and behaviors of Black people globally — keeping a record of the African diaspora for future generations to observe. Her work has been exhibited at WACO Theater Center, Sovern LA, LACP, and Leimin Gallery. She has had writing and photography published in Luna Collective, Essence GU, and more.
