New York-based self-taught photographer Clifford Prince King presents a series of intimate, autobiographical portraits titled Let me know when you get home this month. The visual journal features photographs King took during his travels in different places such as Fire Island, Syracuse, Vermont, São Paulo, and the Cayman Islands. In his nomadic journey over the summer, King captured moments of love and partnership through his camera lens, showing lovers in vulnerable, candid poses. Framed in six-foot-tall portraits, Let me know when you get home is a raw display of heartfelt moments in grainy, cinematic quality. As a queer Black man, King uses his creative outlet as a voice for the LGTBQ+ and BIPOC communities and gives a sense of belonging to diverse audiences. Starting on February 21 and ending on May 26, Let me know when you get home will be on view at 300 JCDecaux bus shelters and 30 newsstands throughout New York City, Chicago, and Boston.
