Rising Stars: Renell Medrano


27 02 2020

Renell Medrano, a Bronx-born photographer and director, has shot cover art for musicians including Justine Skye, H.

E.R and A$AP Ferg, and has snapped Bella Hadid, Solange and Jay-Z, among others. Her big break came in 2014 with a photo series called Untitled Youth, in which she documented the everyday experiences of four young friends in the Bronx over the course of two years, and has since shot for magazines including Office, Oyster and Cultured. Her latest work sees a return to her Dominican Republic roots for a personal photo series titled Pampara, and her shots debuted at an exhibition during London Fashion Week, attracting a turnout from friends like Kendall Jenner.
