"Brandon Ruffin is an Oakland based, multidisciplinary artist, best known for his visual storytelling in the mediums of photography and film under the moniker Ruff Draft.

Brandon attributes his style of storytelling to the exploration of identity as well as how identity influences the movements and cultures of people within society. Brandon uses the physical properties of contrasting light, color, and subject matter to create unique juxtapositions that will yield evocative narratives surrounding the human experience.

Brandon’s goal is to allow his work to serve as a mirror in which people can observe themselves and dissect the idea of who we are and why, as well as who we can be. These questions are ones that drive Brandon and have been the fuel in his artistic explorations as he explores his own identity and potential. " - Bio from Ruffdraftvisuals.com
