Photographer + Co-Founder of 50mm Collective

Raven Trammell aka Raven50mm is a Social Documentary Photographer, photojournalist, and community builder. He captures living moments of real-life people, places, historical events, and even some of the top hip hop artists in the world through a heavy archive of concert photography. 

Raven’s photography career started at the age of 9 when he purchased his first film camera from a garage sale and started shooting in his hometown of Holland, Michigan. While mainly self-taught; Raven was able to study photography in depth during college which led him to be hired as the school's photo documentarian for various campus events. This role was the catalyst in developing Raven's natural style of photography. 

Raven has been minting his photography as NFTs since February 2021. Within his first year of NFTs, Raven has sold over 100 photography NFTs, donated thousands to the Los Angeles community, and founded the 50mm Collective. 

Seeing early success with selling out the first pieces of his collection, PRAYING FOR CHANGE. He went on to explore the possibilities of fusing web3 and social change and what that would look like within the Los Angeles community. His following collection, HUSSLE AND MOTIVATE sold out in 12 hours and provided a 20% donation of total primary sales to Crete Academy, a school in South LA dedicated to serving students experiencing homelessness and poverty. 

As an early pioneer in the web3 space, he feels a direct responsibility to ensure diverse representation becomes the forefront of web3. Raven's current photography projects are focused on exploring themes of transition and self-portraiture within his own life experiences. As well as video documentation of the extreme nature of motorcycle life in Los Angeles.
