About

Victor Koroma

Victor Koroma is a Los Angeles-based commercial and studio photographer with 10+ years of experience shooting for e-commerce platforms, auction houses, and global brands. His work spanning product photography, editorial campaigns, and museum and auction collection documentation.

His fine art practice extends this same precision into cultural commentary — work that has been featured in AnOther Magazine, PDN, Print Magazine 20 under 30 and Esquire Russia. Rather than responding to the traditional subjects of master still life painters — fruit, flowers, draped cloth — Koroma's work responds to the pop cultural objects his generation grew up with. Video game cartridges instead of fruits. Cigarette cartons instead of flowers. Allegories about consumerism arranged with Duchampian and Warholian objects that ask: are you looking at a commercial image selling you a product? A fine art image selling you cultural nostalgia? A warning about consumerism? Or a celebration of the everyday object — because as Keats suggested, "a thing of beauty is a joy forever."

A first place fine art winner in PDN's 2017 Objects of Desire contest and a 2016 Print Magazine New Visual Artists: 15 Under 30 honoree. Born in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Grew up in Alexandria, Virginia.
