Organized by

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.
