Phase 3

Season of evolution and growth.

Probably crazy for getting a whole sleeve for my first tattoo 😂
My tattoos represent who I am. The growth,the vision,the patience, the strength, the discipline,my resilience as well as my brand. I’m in a winning season & will continue to push myself to the best version of me.

Shoutout to my artist @damonuribe. Incredible from start to end. Truly thankful that you took the time to hear what I was looking for and what these tattoos mean to me. Appreciate you @finessenshots for always getting me right. @francoisjoseph_ appreciate you for helping me shoot these shots.

Canvas painted by me.

Let’s keep evolving !

Welcome to Phase 2. The New & Elevated of MEECH213
NOW LIVE - MEECH213.COM

Let me know what you guys think.

This project has been in the works for a year & im extremely excited to share with you guys.

I wanted a website that was clean but also redefined who I am as well as headed. 213 which has been a big significance in my life we incorporated the clock & moving handles as you see with the main page. You will also notice the words are placed in a position as a clock would be.

It was important to highlight both photo & video with this website to showcase both aspects that I do.

As you guys saw with phase 1, I rebranded and I’m thankful that we took our time with this because we saw all the possibilities and I chose what felt like me.

This project felt more special because I got to meet both of the creators of my website on two separate trips to London. @the.blackpepperstudio thank you for such an amazing rebrand. You guys are incredible!

Hope you all enjoy the site as much as I do.

Stay tuned for the last Phase… 3 !

Phase 1 of the relaunch.

I welcome you to the new & elevated

Been working on this relaunch since last year and it’s truly special for me. This relaunch is a new evolution of my journey and where I’m headed. 213 has a strong significance in my life & how I ended here & so this particular relaunch I wanted to make sure that was highlighted.

I can’t wait for you all to see PHASE 2 of my relaunch !

IN CONVERSATION WITH
BLACK ART MATTERS — ISSUE NO. 8

MEECH213 || @meech213

One of the more compelling parts of speaking with Meech, Dametreus Ward, was recognizing how much of his relationship to photography is shaped by discernment.

There is a very clear level of scrutiny in the way he thinks about image making, not just in terms of what looks good, but what actually allows a photograph to feel composed, coherent, and fully considered once everything is inside the frame. That distinction matters to me because we are surrounded by images all day, and not all of them are built with that level of care, patience, or visual judgment underneath them.

In this conversation, we spoke about beauty photography, self direction, visual standards, and the slower process of developing an eye in a culture that constantly rewards immediacy. We also spoke about what it means to keep refining your judgment over time and to understand the difference between something being finished and something actually being ready. That kind of relationship to a practice always interests me more than talent on its own.

BLACK ART MATTERS — ISSUE NO. 8

MEECH213 || @meech213

One of the more compelling parts of speaking with Meech, Dametreus Ward, was recognizing how much of his relationship to photography is shaped by discernment.

There is a very clear level of scrutiny in the way he thinks about image making, not just in terms of what looks good, but what actually allows a photograph to feel composed, coherent, and fully considered once everything is inside the frame. That distinction matters to me because we are surrounded by images all day, and not all of them are built with that level of care, patience, or visual judgment underneath them.

In this conversation, we spoke about beauty photography, self direction, visual standards, and the slower process of developing an eye in a culture that constantly rewards immediacy. We also spoke about what it means to keep refining your judgment over time and to understand the difference between something being finished and something actually being ready. That kind of relationship to a practice always interests me more than talent on its own.

Issue No. 8 is now live on the Black Art Matters Substack. Read the full feature here:
