Khalif Rivers is a visual artist/storyteller/amateur historian hailing from Philadelphia. His artistic journey was birthed from a desire to seek out mediums to adequately communicate (some of) the thoughts that frequent his mind. What began with cityscapes shot on an iPhone 6 quickly blossomed into portraiture, still life, street photography, and writing. Khalif can be found roaming about the city with a camera.
