The Biscuit Podcast: $HAN Wallace Takes Portraits of Today for Tomorrow

By Andy Goh

One month ago on The Biscuit Podcast, we introduced you to $HAN Wallace, a Baltimore-based photographer spending time in Charlotte on a residency project organized by The Roll Up CLT.

In today’s episode of the Biscuit podcast, we take a visit to Beatties Ford Library, where $HAN is hosting a free portrait session, something she’ll do each last Monday of the month until October. The photo shoots, which are open to anyone from the community, are meant to give access to a type of photo of themselves that many residents wouldn’t have otherwise. $HAN shares thoughts about why portraiture is so important for people through examples from her past and the story of two young men from Charlotte she reached through her work.

Here is their portrait from their session with her.
