I'm Rodescu Hopkins II, a filmmaker and photographer based in Chicago. I run RH2 Studios, where I shoot portraits, documentary work, and live events — the kind of work that asks you to actually pay attention to the people in front of you.

I started RH2 in 2019 and I've been building it since, one project at a time. I care more about capturing something true than making something polished. If a photo or a frame feels honest, it's done its job.

Chicago's been home for over a decade, and most of what I shoot comes out of that — the people, the events, the everyday moments worth holding onto.

Want to see more of the work as it happens? I write about it on Substack, and you can always reach me directly here.
