My creativity comes from the soul.
My story
Imani Lenz is a creative artist using video, photo, and music to document real people, places, and lived experience.
His work is rooted in observation—capturing conversations, environments, and moments as they naturally unfold. Through docu-series conversations and music vlogs, Imani creates space for stories that often go undocumented, prioritizing presence over performance.
He is the founder of Black Stock Footage, a cultural preservation project documenting nuanced Black experiences across the global diaspora, and Film Trips, a creator-led platform centered on in-person experiences and community storytelling.
Across all of his work, Imani’s focus remains the same: preserving what already matters before it’s lost.

Whether through film, photography, or music, Imani remains committed to preserving culture and building community through creativity.
