As far back as he can remember, Karston Tannis has always had a camera in his hand. From shooting home videos with a camcorder as a kid to capturing candids of his BMX community around New York City using disposable cameras in his teens, and now traveling the world with an iPhone 16 Pro Max, Tannis has been driven by the idea of documenting people in their environments.
"I love telling stories of people in places," says Tannis, who specializes in lifestyle, fashion, and travel. "I really live for the adventure, so I love a tool that allows me to seamlessly integrate that into a multitude of environments, whether that be the runways at Fashion Week, hanging off the edge of a helicopter, or even documenting the everyday moments of life."
In a recent shoot focusing on fashion designers and their bespoke creations, Tannis highlighted the vibrancy of the African diaspora. He captured portraits on an iPhone 16 Pro Max with Caribbean-inspired settings. The images show how Tannis brought this theme to life—from a custom-built boat on Saint Lucia's makeshift shores to fruit stands inspired by Caribbean and Ghanaian fishing villages and markets—using rich-hued fashion designs through his lens.
