Summary

Russell Frederick is a photographer from Brooklyn, New York whose global world view and compassion for the human condition informs his work. He produces his photographs primarily with medium format black and white film. For years, he has been documenting the people of the community of Bedford-Stuyvesant, which is second only to Harlem in terms of African-American pop culture. Bed-Stuy, as the place is affectionately called is also the place that Russell Frederick calls home. Frederick has also photographed extensively in other communities including Brooklyn, Kingston, Jamaica, the Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans, Hattiesburg, Mississippi and more.
