Welcome. I'm Harper P. Gentry, a photographer, essayist, and videographer in New Orleans —a place where the present is rooted in the past. Through photographs, words, and moving images, I tell stories of people, places, and memories.

Photographer • Essayist • Archivist • Videographer

Before each photograph is taken, there is a kind of magic that happens in front of my camera. It begins with a connection between me and the person I’m photographing. That connection is a gift, and one I never take lightly. The moment passes, but the image remains. Photographs become memories.

The Documented Face

A true portrait is more than a photograph—it's a piece of art
