About Him Over There

I’m Kevin Russell, known as “Him Over There.” Photography has been my outlet for over a decade, born during one of the toughest seasons of my life. It gave me refuge, purpose, and a way to find beauty in the struggle.

Light is my obsession. The way it cuts through shadows, shapes a moment, and stirs emotion—that’s where my art lives. Photography is painting with light, and I never stop chasing its possibilities.

My vision was sharpened by legends: Herb Ritts’ beauty, Hugh Hefner’s boldness, Hype Williams’ cinematic edge, Gordon Parks’ truth, Richard Avedon’s honesty, Jonathan Mannion’s hip-hop storytelling, Helmut Newton’s power, and Basquiat’s raw energy. Hip-hop itself fuels my style—taking what’s in front of me and flipping it into something original.

I’ve worked with celebrities and brands, capturing moments that don’t just look good—they resonate. Every image is a story, every frame a voice.

If you want a photographer who’s lived through life’s highs and lows, sees beauty in light and shadow, and brings culture into every shot—let’s create. Whether boudoir, beauty, or portraits, I’ll turn your story into art that speaks to the soul.
