Artist Profile: Dirty Archangel
Overview
Dirty Archangel is a New Jersey-based photographic artist whose work explores the intersection of power, vulnerability, and transformation. With a background in urban photography and a self-taught focus on Shibari, he captures moments of tension and release through evocative, emotionally charged imagery. His work challenges dominant narratives around masculinity, offering raw, intimate portrayals of submission and self-discovery.
Rooted in transgressive aesthetics and symbolic storytelling, his practice uses shadow, composition, and natural decay to reveal beauty in resistance—and freedom in surrender.
