Born and raised in the city of champions, Brockton, Massachusetts, Ruben Glimpse was always destined for greatness. Taking on his infamous moniker as the Princeofthegram, the renowned Hollywood photographer has positioned himself as one of the most popular celebrity photographers within the hip-hop community. His keen eye for detail and his exceptional photography skills have helped him make a name for himself, and his remarkable journey has been one for the ages.
In 2018, Princeofthegram initially started out as a club promoter in the Hollywood nightlife scene. His journey began at Club Lure when it was still open for business. At first, he took his camera to the club for recreational photos, but one thing led to another, and he started to take his craft more seriously.
Photography became more than just a hobby for Ruben, as he poured in time and effort into honing his craft. He studied day and night, hoping to learn more about his passion. “A fire grew inside of me to the point that my growth became exponential,” said Princeofthegram. The following year he got his first paid gig at Playhouse, then he immediately got another gig at Penthouse, and the rest was history. His experiences catapulted him to becoming Hollywood’s number 1 nightlife photographer, and he hasn’t looked back ever since.
Nowadays, Princeofthegram is the people’s choice when it comes to nightlife and working day/night clubs such as Penthouse Day club, Le Jardin, 1 Oak, Argyle, Playhouse, Bootsey Bellows, Crazy Girls, Ace of Diamonds, Cheetahs, and many more. He also works with artists, celebrities, and models within the city. Currently, Princeofthegram has been keeping himself busy as Trey Songz’s personal photographer. He is also growing their new OnlyFans management company called Angels and Angles.
Princeofthegram has worked with countless notable celebrities such as Trey Songz, King Los, French Montana, Bleu Vandross, Sincereshow, Jessica Burciaga, Miracle Watts, Thomas Bryant, John Johnson III, DJ Carisma, Nick Pattiwack, AD, D3szn, China Mac, Kris D Lofton, Desmond King, Gareon Conley, and many more.
The hip-hop community has always been close to the esteemed photographer’s heart. Ever since he was seven years old, he had always been influenced by seeing his older brothers attend house parties and always playing hip-hop music from artists such as Tupac, Biggie, Big L, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, and DMX.
“This era helped grow my passion for this music. I always imagined working with high profile artists and celebrities, especially due to the fact that my peers complimented my personality for being unique and personable,” said Princeofthegram. “Watching artists perform on stage and having dope content taken of them really inspired me to create photos and to be a part of history by creating memories that are everlasting,” he added.
Outside of photography, Princeofthegram loves keeping himself creative by being in the studio with artists and voicing his opinion on their music. He started making beats as a producer when he was thirteen years old before picking up a camera later on. This makes Ruben a definitive authority when it comes to music. Over the years, he has developed his keen sense of music, which is why his opinion is highly favored among artists alike.
Ruben Glimpse is a force to be reckoned with. He has been consistently delivering artistic content throughout the years, and he has no plans of stopping any time soon. It’s clear to see that the talented photographer is on a path to becoming a household name in the photography scene in the years to come. It’s all really just a matter of time.
