Send this to someone who needs to slow down and be present…
Last week we launched a very special project. A love story about presence, about longing, about honoring the moments and people that matter most.
You may or may not have seen on my stories but I’m honoring a promise to share more of my work publicly and directly — so here we are.
I produced RECLAMATION for the @leica_camera ZM 2 Monochrom release.
And I could not be more proud to partner with my brother @ruffdraft to bring this piece to life.
We hope you enjoy and maybe spend a little time exploring what things are stealing your attention in life.

What a week it has been! Still trying to find the words for what God is doing in my life.
The child version of me never thought he would share space with so many people he admired on screens, but here we are!
My 3rd Broadway Credit was a life changing one that I’ll never forget. Eternally grateful to my ace @ddotrollins for believing in my visions and joining me on this journey.

ART BASEL, HERE WE COME 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
I’m overjoyed to announce a new career milestone for me and the entire team.
Next week marks my international curatorial debut and it’s happening during Basel Art Week 2025. Opening @voltaartfairs, this solo presentation is presented by @thebishopgallery and features all new work by visionary artist @cjpgallery.
I never could have imagined the doors God has opened for me but I’m deeply grateful for the incredible supporters, partners and team members that worked to bring this to life in a very short turnaround.
If you’re in Europe next week, give us a buzz and we’ll see you in Switzerland!

Spent way too much time thinking of “the perfectcaption”— so I’m gonna skip that and just share some moments of joy.
@amarchthroughtime closed its first chapter last month with over 300 visitors, countless hours of preparation, and the promise of a very bright future.
Thank you to @george.mccalman & @thefalconandthefilly for inviting me along for this ride.
My brother @sirmichaelwayne and the graceful @ndnlifestylist for sharing your gifts in only the way you two could.
@kerensouth for jumping in at a moments notice to lend a hand and bring laughter to the space.
There’s many more names and handles not pictured here that made this possible.I’m grateful for you all just the same. 🙏🏾

Rooted in the belief that time is not linear – it flows in cycles, folding memory into the present, and shaping our collective future.
What is A March Through Time?
It is a show, an exhibition, a salon, and an experience by artist and author George McCalman. With performances by Michael Wayne Turner III, Nkechi Njaka, and Gabriele Christian at Pier 29 in San Francisco.
The exhibition reimagines the way our stories live in space asking viewers to examine their place in the fabric of time.

A FEW MOMENTS IN DANDY
It’s been a week since the Met Gala and while I have many thoughts both on the event and the commentary around it, more than anything I’m grateful for the long overdue spotlight this has returned to the craft.
Sharing a few looks I’ve served up over the years. Much more Dandy to come 😏

Dandy’s Not Dead
“Dandy’s Not Dead” - A photo series by Michael Wayne Turner III (@sirmichaelwayne)
——————————————————-
The photo series, “Dandy’s Not Dead” came together as passion project aimed to indulge in the everyday expression of Dandyism.
The “Dandy” is not only a thing of the past it is just as well and thing of the present and the future. I am living proof!
As I sit in the aftermath of the Met Gala, I’m inspired by the curiosity shown by so many. The question being ask with great repetitionbecame was “what is a dandy?” or “What does Black Dandyism mean?”
As we move further and further away from the excitement of the Met Gala, I ask that we continue the curiosity to understand and celebrate this craft and culture of Dandyism! Not just for a moment but for a season where life changing things can happen!
The Team:
Creative Direction - @sirmichaelwayne, Creative Producer -@xavier.rernard, could not do this without you!!!!
Stylist: @alemsworld, you worked your magic in 48hrs and I couldn’t be more grateful
Photographer: @kvnalln, what you do with a camera should be studied, appreciate you!
Grip: @the_tehan_, a behind the scenes orchestrator, that’s for your energy
Cinematography: @aminahmuhamm, I can’t wait for them to see what we have coming next. Thank you for your dedication to the artistry
So Much More To Come!

Another Year of Life, Same Unshakeable Joy 🎂☺️
This image perfectly captures my past year. I’ve been working, I mean WORKING! — and things have not always been neat or tidy. There have been many life changing wins and also some illuminating losses, but above all, I’ve experienced joy — unadulterated, unmistakeable, life sustaining joy.
This photo was taken by a one of a kind human with an infectious spirit, the incomparable @alex_elle. Her words sit with me as I reflect on my past and envision my future, “Your dreams will be too big for some people—and still you must dream”
I’m eternally grateful for every person who continues to dream with me, even when it’sunconventional or uncharted.My community has been my greatest gift and words escape me trying to quantify your impact on my life.
Thank you for the many warm wishes already received and for those yet to come🙏🏾.
