JABARI KHALIQ
Resident Headshot Photographer| Self Tapes
​
Since receiving his BFA in Acting in 2019, Chicago-based actor, photographer, and filmmaker Jabari Khaliq has made his career goal to provide a voice for those who feel underrepresented--including artists themselves. While acting has always been his passion, he went into college wanting a new creative way to capture how he saw the world. Since beginning Khaliq Photography in 2014, Jabari has grown a portfolio that proudly represents artists--especially young, black artists. He hopes to give full autonomy to all young creators as they embark on their journeys.
