Maurice Ivory Wilson - Self Portrait

Maurice Ivory Wilson is a photographer and artist based in Richmond, VA. Working primarily with film, he curiously observes and documents the people he esteems—loved ones and communities he is fortunate to engage with—in pursuit of deeper understanding and to offer perspective on their lived experiences. His work is galvanized by the eras of street photography that use the lens to examine and challenge societal constructs, while honoring the depth found in all walks of life. He continues to explore these themes while remaining connected to traditional photographic practices, including black-and-white film development and darkroom printing.

Maurice works with several local organizations, including serving as a volunteer photographer for Art 180, a darkroom studio monitor at the Visual Arts Center, and a member of the media team at The Mount Carmel Baptist Church. His work has been featured in numerous group exhibitions in Richmond, and three of his photographs are currently on view in the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia’s Bodies of Labor exhibit through December 2025.

He is currently working on publishing his first book, Family Business, It Takes a Village. The work offers an intimate view of his family and seeks to enlighten while continuing the flows of love across generations.
