Independent Photographer “Recording Our History in Pictures”
This is what I do. If Blacks, African-Americans, and other people of color are making history in Politics, Arts, Sports, and Society I am there to cover their achievements and failures in pictures. My photographs are published weekly in some of 6 different publications but most notably the New York Amsterdam News. I have been doing this full time seven days a week since the early 1980s because my legacy will be the pictorial of Our progress in the New World .

Klytus Smith
Klytus has captured the lives and events of many within Harlem, the cultural epicenter of the African Diaspora. Klytus started shooting from 1960 with a meager Robin range-finder camera, and had captured intimate images of Brother Malcolm X, the Grandassa models, the Garvey day parade and much more. His ambition to become a photojournalist began as an apprentice to the photographer Art Williams; capturing the Tanzania Affair at the United Nations in 1964. His work has assisted in the makings of Spike Lee’s film Malcolm X, and several documentaries including A&E’s Minister of Rage and PBS’s The American Experience: Make It Plain. Later this year his work will be featured in Professor Tracey E. Hucks, of Haverford College, publication approaching the African God: Religious Nationalism and the Quest for an African American Yoruba Tradition. Klytus, a native of New York, has thoroughly documented our area of triumph, resistance, and continual growth within Harlem and later in his career within the continent of Africa. His photographs continue to bestow memories of how far we have come and inspire us in how far we must continue to go.
