NOLADEEJ was born and raised in the New Orleans area, where a lifelong fascination with history, storytelling, and exploration took root. In 2016, he launched a YouTube channel to showcase the city’s culture, food, and hidden stories but would evolve to exploring abandoned places.
That passion led to the co-creation of the Krewe du Exploration, a group of friends dedicated to uncovering and documenting abandoned places throughout the New Orleans areas and beyond.
His photography spans portraits, cityscapes, forgotten landmarks, abandoned places, and anything else that sparks curiosity. Each image captures a small piece of a larger story.
