New Wave
When it comes to photographer RAYSCORRUPTEDMIND, a natural cascade toward independence was something that came to define his journey through adolescence and into young adulthood. Having referred to himself as an oddball, Ray distinctively stood out from the crowd from his rural state of Allentown, USA before he moved to the dazzling city of
New York where he could finally express himself in all creative ways he desired.
From picking up a camera on a whim, Ray fell into the world of photography almost instantly. From starting off by taking photos of his friends he rapidly progressed to shooting the world’s leading Hip-Hop artists, prestigious personalities, and designer brands. His self-taught capabilities started off just by posting his work on the internet where he gained attention on social media pages, more so for his inspirational captions which brought him a cult following. Surely enough, it trickled down into him establishing a solid relationship with Harlem heavyweight and awe-inspiring stylist Bloody Osiris who found that they were both oozing a heavy desire to grind, be as influential as possible and show the world what they’re made of. This diligent seed was sown in a rich soil, as Ray was soon caught by the eye of the phenomenal Hip-Hop rapper Travis Scott whom he now acts as his personal photographer but also close friend. Not only did this move mark the beginning of Ray’s remarkable journey to where he is today, but Ray was able to fully submerge himself within the heavily creative and influential New York scene where he blossomed into his most authentic himself.
