Image details

The backstory is as follows: Taken from my cover photo of her seminal transformative album, ‘Share My World’. Taken on December 16, 1996. Without knowing it at the time, This album shoot changed so many things for my photo career.

It was a joy to play my small part in the transformation of her image to ‘Queen of Hip Hop Soul’. We can never know in advance, the nature of where each project will fit into pop culture history. I can definitely say that with this project, the success of this album would form the next 10 years of photo work worldwide for me.

This album became Blige’s first number one on the US Billboard 200 album chart. It is certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for excess of three million copies sold in the US. Moreover, it is her first album where she serves as an executive producer, alongside Steve Stoute, who also shared executive producer credits on the album.
