INTERVIEW W/ CONNECTDID

For photographer and creative director Sancho Smalls, storytelling is at the heart of every image. His Gullah Geechee heritage deeply shapes his perspective, grounding his work in a tradition of resilience, community, and craftsmanship. “The Gullah Geechee Corridor values artisans and craftsmanship, which empowered me to embrace my identity as an artist,” Sancho explains. This cultural foundation drives his mission to honor his subjects and celebrate their strength through his lens.
