HOW I PHOTOGRAPH, HELPS OTHER PEOPLE
Identity Branding | Photo Essay |
“As an acronym Hip Hop has become how I photograph helps people. It's me connecting with the person to capture a moment and tell a story.” Musicians are artist as well as storytellers and don't always get to show and tell there story in a respectable way. In order for us to tell this story we have to build a bond. How I photograph helps other people is focused on the time spent making it happen. In this artist collaboration photography and music formulate a visual Masterpiece.
