WE'VE BEEN SHOOTING TOGETHER SINCE HIGHSCHOOL...

my good friend Doan and I have been collaborating on all sorts of projects since we were yougins. prolly since the age of 14 we’ve been making mixtapes, recording freestyles, shooting music videos and of course, taking some amazing pics along the way. we’ve been friends forever and we’ve always lived in the same neighborhood since we were kids…

Doan loves to get new shots for new years and his birthday which fall within a week of each other. of course, i am always down to help him out. we never have a plan. we just meet up and sort of figure it out. wing it so to speak. and 10 times out of 10 we always come back with some absolute bangers. we see eye to eye on the vision he wants and it makes the whole process 100x easier…

when you and your subject are on the same page for a shoot, no matter what kind of shoot it is, it will be that much easier to accomplish and that much more fun if that’s the case. it’s super important to understand who you are working with and the goals they have in mind for their shoot. it gives you perspective into their world and helps you better understand a solid location, types of shots and the tones the person is looking for in their vision…
