Lo Braden, who also goes by Lo Cayne, is a black queer portrait and fashion photographer from Detroit. In the future they believe that we'll be able to take whatever we see and project it onto a screen. We'd be able to show our perspective, our point of view, straight from our brains. That technology doesn't yet exist, so the closest thing they have to that concept, is their camera. It's one of the main reasons why they love photography, they get to take a vision that they have in the form of a dream or sudden burst of inspiration and capture it, and share it with others.

My name is Darnell McAdams and I was born an only child in Cleveland Ohio to a father who made a career serving in the Air Force and a mother from the South who made it her first priority to instill respect, hard work, and love into her child, while not only holding down multiple jobs, but also creating a home environment that anyone would be proud of.

My passion for photography came about in 2013 after competing on a cable reality show and realizing that my true worth was realized on and around the camera. There was something about capturing moments in time that really resonated with my soul, partly because along the way both of my parents passed away, but also because it was the form of art that made my heart really smile. It was from those years of teachings, failures, and life lessons that in 2017 Raw Glass Photography was born.

Since then the maturation process has been quick. Shooting numerous things including portraits, weddings, fashion shows, plays, music videos, movies, and even a PGA Tour tournament! My true skills have been actualized and I feel that my passion shows in my work!

No one is bigger than the community that supports them which is why I also have donated my time and expertise to schools, events, and individuals in order to promote that sense of family that I was raised to have.
