Tariq Stone is a filmmaker and photographer, his work explores themes of memory, identity, and the hidden stories embedded within everyday objects. Inspired by his photographer father and the TV shows he grew up watching—particularly Phineas and Ferb and work by Donald Glover—Tariq’s work embraces visual storytelling, blending surrealism with emotional resonance.

He aims to tell stories visually using unconventional camera rigs and vivid, textured lighting. Whether he’s strapping his camera to a shopping cart or bike, or carrying his camera through a lake, Tariq believes the closer his camera is to breaking, the better the shot. He’s been coined by his peers as Tariq “anything for the shot” Stone.
