Florence “Flo” Ngala (b. 1995) is a photographer and photojournalist. Her work focuses on documentary, editorial and portraits. She is a daughter of West African immigrants who immigrated to Harlem, which kickstarted her culturally inspired path to photography.
Flo’s work has appeared on front covers of The New York Times, Billboard and Essence Magazine. In 2022, she became the first Black woman invited by Vogue to photograph inside the MET Gala.
Her career started in 2017 as personal photographer to the then up-and-coming rapper Cardi B. The native New Yorker documented what she’s coined “celebrity photojournalism” for Stacey Abrams, Sarah Jessica Parker, Method Man, Wizkid & more.
In 2023, Ngala made the coveted Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list. She plans to venture into creative agency endeavors with Flo In Focus, and works as an in house photographer with music labels.
