Xavier Thompson is an American photographer whose work explores memory, identity, and the passage of time. In his fashion images, he captures the textures of clothing and skin with equal intimacy, rendering every wrinkle and scar with the same care as a finely woven fabric. His portraits often evoke a quiet vulnerability not just of the body, but of the gaze, inviting viewers into a space where time feels suspended. In his work, Thompson employs photography as a form of visual poetry, reflecting on life, loss, and the emotional landscapes of the human heart.
