Alright, so last month, I sent out a link to the people who are subscribed to the newsletter where they could anonymously ask me anything they wanted for a future blog post, so below are answers to some of your questions. A few of you had me laughing, knowing I wouldn't post your wild question š. Anyway, I'll do this again in the future and maybe make a video or something for the next one. Enjoy!
Your Questions Answered
Q: How long have you grown your hair, and would you ever cut it?
A: I grew my hair out in college and never looked back. I would never cut it, and I'll grow old with super long hair. I'll just usually braid it and call it a day.
Q: What did you study in college?
A: I have a science degree in Sport and Exercise Science, so I was going to pursue the whole strength and conditioning thing for maybe a sports team, but that was never a passion, and life had other plans.
Q: What are your Big 3 zodiac signs?
A. It's wild, actually. I have THREE moons in my zodiac chart. I didn't even know about the "big 3" until an awesome model told me I should look them up during a photoshoot. Here ya go:
Sun = Cancer
Moon = Pisces
Rising = Cancer
Shout out to all the moody water signs. We sense everything š šŖ
Q. Film photography is expensive. Can you still make money?
A. Yes, you can absolutely make money. There is a market for everyone and everything.
Q: What is your worst experience as a photographer so far?
A: Getting a call or text on the day of the photoshoot, right before the shoot, that they will be a no-show. The disrespect š. You can't graduate to a professional photographer unless that happens to you. That's why I respect good agents in the industry who have to put up with and put out fires like that all the time behind the scenes.
Q: Favorite Camera?
A: I don't have a favorite, just a favorite for the particular job/assignment.
Q: What is your favorite Filmstock?
A: Portra 800
Q: Where do you buy your vintage cameras?
A: Mainly eBay sellers from Japan, and once in a while, while traveling, you can find something as well.
Q: What is your ethnicity?
A: I'm MultiRacial, so a few different things.š
Q: Why do you make jokes about digital Photography? (Paraphrased question)
A: I'm not going to lie; this made me laugh out loud. It's all in fun, and nothing to take seriously. By the way, I have friends who shoot digitally. š
Q: Did you ever play in a band?
A: Yes, I was the guitarist in a few.
Q: What is your Favorite Band or Music?
A: It all depends on my mood. When I'm working or brainstorming ideas, etc. I like to have on anything melodic, though.
Q: How can I start film photography?
A: Don't hesitate and jump right in. There are plenty of resources on youtube and online to get you started. The film community is pretty cool; mostly everyone likes sharing their knowledge.
