Hi, I’m Mikal — the creator behind SoRawVisuals.

I’m originally from Chatham, on the South Side of Chicago, where creativity and hustle are a way of life. Growing up there taught me how to see beauty in real moments — a raw, grounded perspective that still drives my work today.

Now based in Houston, I specialize in studio and on-location photography that blends emotion with bold lighting and modern composition. My work spans portraits, brand campaigns, music videos, and fashion — including creative direction and photo work featured during New York Fashion Week.

Every project is an opportunity to tell a story — using light, tone, and movement to create visuals that feel cinematic and timeless. Whether I’m behind the camera in the studio or on set at a live event, my goal is the same: capture something real, powerful, and unforgettable.

When I’m not shooting, I’m refining my craft — experimenting with lighting, color, and storytelling to push my creative boundaries while staying true to that South Side drive that started it all.

Let’s create something that lasts.
