Photographer Spotlight: Abdi Ibrahim

A selection of work by Somali-American photographer, director and cartoonist, Abdi Ibrahim. Based in Los Angeles, Ibrahim shoots predominantly Black and Brown subjects, presenting them “in their most natural states.” He is concerned with creating images that tell a story, describing his work as a cross between documentary and conceptual photography, with a surreal aesthetic that is still meant to be rooted in reality. Ibrahim’s work has been featured in various publications, including the New Yorker, Vanity Fair, I-D Magazine, and Complex.
