Who photographed the cover art for Steve Lacy's Oh Yeah?

Gus Van Sant photographed the cover art for Steve Lacy’s album Oh Yeah?. Lacy revealed the cover on June 3, 2026, ahead of the album’s release.

Van Sant is best known as an acclaimed filmmaker, but he has also worked in photography and visual art. His involvement gives the album’s packaging a notable connection to an artist whose career spans film, music, and still imagery.

Oh Yeah? was announced as Lacy’s third studio album after he had been developing it for several years. The album’s release campaign began with “Nice Shoes,” followed by “The Feeling” and “Is It Cool?” before the full record arrived on July 17, 2026.

The common mix-up is between the album cover and the music videos. Matthew Castellanos directed the video for “The Feeling,” but he did not photograph the album artwork. Hype Williams, Annie Leibovitz, and Tyler Mitchell are prominent names in visual culture, yet none is credited for this cover.
