Adrian.J. The Photographer.....
1. How long have you being pursuing photography and how did you get started?
I've been pursuing Photography since 7th grade, ever since my sister bought me a little digital Kodak camera for Christmas lol. That camera helped set a visual outlook in life for me.
2. Who is your biggest influence in this industry or in your personal life?
As far as influence in personal life all 5 of my bro's & sis' play the biggest part in my life..Industry wise.. in the music/social life would be Lupe Fiasco, Nas, the late Huey P.Newton, MLK and anyone that believes in sharing knowledge to the young.
3. What are some obstacles you struggle with in the photography world and how do you deal with them?
I would lie to say there weren't any obstacles.. The only thing that I would say that slows me own is trying to juggle other priorities like work, school, fam etc..while doing my photo thing but I've been doing it for years now.. Ironically I use my Art,Weed, and praying as my outlet lol.
4. How do you keep up with the latest camera equipments?
I dont.. the way I see it is if I use the same equipment everyone else uses my work wouldn't be original, so I stick to the same cameras and lenses etc.. I started with. Its been good for me so far.
5. How do you define a great photo?
Substance. Anyone can really take a dope ass photo, but the photos with substance and originality are the ones that can catch a persons eye and cause them to question you like "what the hell were you thinking when you took this?" lol.. thats just my outlook on it though..
6. How will you describe a great photo shoot turnout?
Mannn.. I'd say a shoot with a Person/Model that Isn't afraid of spontaneous ideas or areas,being on the same artistic level plays a major part also.. and a Model that doesn't count on me to pose them.. not that I have a problem doing it..I just love a model that comes with it.
7. What are 3 advises that you will tell a young photograher that is trying to be where you are today?
1. Always keep a humble and open mind in the time your in now.
2. If you want to obtain a career in photography do so, but always make sure your work stands out.. even if its just your hobby. Take it seriously.
3. Go to school and learn new things, it will help open your mind and test your artistry.
8. Where do you see yourself in the next 3 years?
Ahh.. in 3 years? I see myself in or out of a University finishing my credentials to be a Photographer teacher.. if its in God's will.
I want to be that name of inspiration to the younger folks out there now.
