Always Looking: Titus Brooks Heagins

“Always Looking” explores the work of photographer Titus Brooks Heagins and the challenging questions his photos pose about the systemic neglect of society’s most vulnerable communities of color. Humanizing yet confrontational, Titus’ photographs document the overlooked: people who, through some intersection of poverty, race or gender/sexual identity, exist as outsiders.
This film dives into Titus' world, shedding light on the strength it takes to be a marginalized Black photographer capturing the lives of other marginalized folks.
“Always Looking” also probes the question of “who can tell whose story?” while directing a spotlight on an overlooked, but richly deserving, artist.
