Born in Basseterre, St. Kitts-Nevis and based in New York City, Tau Battice is a lifelong lover of the photograph and its power to preserve the moment, proclaim nuance, and propel humanity to positive action. He teaches at the City University of New York and lives in Harlem. Specializing in portraiture, with a primary interest in creating visual ethnographies of the underrepresented African diaspora, Tau engages long-term personal projects from The Bronx to Brazil and is currently working on his first monograph about Jamestown, New York.
