Explore. Express. Expose.
Representation and authenticity are at the core of what we do. Realest Exposure is more than just a creative platform, it’s a movement to celebrate our most authentic selves. By providing a space for artists and individuals to share their truths, we aim to break barriers, spark conversations, and build a more inclusive, compassionate world.
Art and communication have the power to transcend boundaries. We believe that every story deserves to be told and every voice deserves to be heard. By focusing on the intersections of art, storytelling, and advocacy, we aim to ignite change and inspire empathy. Our work not only highlights the beauty of diversity but also challenges stereotypes and misconceptions, paving the way for deeper understanding and mutual respect.

Our Founder
Trayvon "Tray" Smith
Trayvon "Tray" Smith (he/him) is a San Francisco native with a deep passion for fashion, art, photography, and community building. A strong advocate for Black and queer visibility, he believes in using his talents to uplift others, ensuring their stories are told and their voices are heard.
Realest Exposure began as a platform to showcase Tray's photography but quickly evolved when he recognized a greater need within his community. Beyond photography, there was a demand for creative services that truly supported queer BIPOC artists and businesses. In response, Tray expanded Realest Exposure to offer creative consulting and brand management, filling a gap in quality services while continuing to explore his own artistic vision.
Dedicated to curating, creating, and contributing to safe spaces, Tray remains committed to fostering environments where BIPOC and queer individuals can thrive authentically. His work is driven by a mission to ensure that everyone has a seat at the table.
