Bio

Collin Riggins is a B&W analog photographer and filmmaker from Kansas City, Missouri. He received a BA in African American Studies and Visual Arts from Princeton University. Collin’s work is often animated by his own family histories across the Carolinas, Missouri, and New York, as well as his ever-evolving sense of found family in these regions. As he photographs landscapes and people, oftentimes in collaboration with those he images, Collin seeks to create a vision of his heritage that honors complexity, intimacy, and ongoingness -- that captures the spirit of the vernacular culture he descends from. In addition to his personal practice, Collin is interested in contributing to efforts that expand access to photography. such as co-founding IMAG(in)E, a free film photography program for high schoolers in The Bronx.
