Kay is a local hip hop artist from Hamilton, Ontario under the label Sircle Famili’a. His style is progressive and his words are powerful in his rhymes about life, struggle and success. When photographing Kay, I wanted to give each shot a clean, fresh look for an upcoming Canadian artist. The saturation in the photos are upgraded with dark shadows and blasted out negative space. Although he’s got a serious side to him, Kay still knows how to have a good time. Sarcastic photographs of rappers are hard to come across, but the metaphorical message of “Same S&%t, different day” was the base for the two humerous shots. It was a pleasure working with Kay for this shoot. You can check out more of Kay’s music at:
