I had the wonderful pleasure of being the Director of Photography one the Howard University segment of the 2021 McDonald’s Inspiration Celebration® Gospel Tour. Our segment was directed by Sir The Baptists and produced by his team at Tymple. I thought this would be a good shoot to test out some Sigma Cine glass so we shot all sigma with the exception of C camera ( 😅 I left the PL mount at home ). We shot on the RED Monstro Gemini & Komodo.

Mental health is something that is near and dear to my heart. Having been in therapy since 2014, I see the benefits of talking to a therapist and getting to know myself. I've seen so much change over the years through the realization of my shortcomings but also the discovery of my strengths. I am so grateful that my friend Trivell Miller brought me on this project. If you get a chance or have the time please watch it and let me know what you think. And if you or somebody you know find yourself thinking about going to therapy, I recommend taking the dive. You will not forget it. This project by Thrive Global x Creative Theory sponsored by Salesforce

I had the amazing opportunity to shoot my second YouTube black creator summit. The most interesting part of this job is the amount of time I get with each creator and the dope images to come out of it. Last year when we shot the creative's we had a whole afternoon planned for just portraits. I was able to use one large soft box To give a very soft and even light across each creator. This time around was a little bit different, we did not have an 8 foot soft box available to us and we change the background depending on what the creators wanted. A beauty dish is a very soft yet hard light, so when you are adjusting you have to be very specific. In my case , we didnt Have much space to shoot the photographs so the subject had to be close to the background. This means that the main light will be casting a shadow on the background and I had to choose how I wanted that to look.
