THE STORY BEHIND CREST

Our Story

CREST is an independent publication dedicated to celebrating Black artists across film, photography, fashion, and the arts. Through original interviews, editorials, and visual storytelling, we spotlight both the people in front of the camera and the creatives shaping the work behind it.

Founded by filmmaker and creative director Sherman Fraser Jr., CREST was created as a platform for emerging voices, bold ideas, and stories that deserve to be seen. Our goal is to document the culture being created today while building a lasting archive for the future.

Our Mission

To create space for Black independent artists to be seen, heard, and celebrated on their own terms.
