Born in Port Chester, New York to immigrant parents from Trinidad and Tobago, fashion and documentary portrait photographer Alan-Michael Duval was raised on Long Island. Throughout his early life, his parents stressed the importance of education and perseverance, having immigrated to the U.S. to provide new opportunities to their future children.

Duval’s earliest photographs were of cars, and he describes his newest series, “To The Pavement”, as a homecoming for sorts. Focused on low rider culture on the east and west coasts of the U.S., the project is ongoing and will be released as a book upon completion.
