Director of Photography of BADD Urban Dolls Magazine
What or who inspired you to become a photographer?
I paid $200 for a photoshoot back when I was MuzicBy2Propa and at that moment I knew I needed a career change.
Were you always interested in glamour photography or did you begin elsewhere?
The photographer I initially studied was J.Alex and I was like yes, I wanna do that. Then I heard it was one of the more difficult forms of photography and at that point I really wanted to do it because if I could master that I could master everything else.
What makes the perfect subject for shooting? What type of models do you prefer working with?
I prefer to work with faces. I became really good at perfecting the shape of models through angles and editing but there's nothing you can really do about a subject's face. My current mentor Grant Lovett said it best, "If you want to take better pictures, point your camera at better things".
When working with you what should the model expect? Direction and perfection. Before I ever even agree to a shoot I have to see the final images in my head and then I know I'm capable of creating appealing images for my client.
At your photo shoots what would be your biggest pet peeve?
My pet peeve is models that don't listen, or think they know everything because they watch "America's Next Top Model". Wrong. Come ready to learn and tuck in your ego.
What makes a model BADD in your opinion?
Sex appeal. You can be sexy, be beautiful, nice curves, but if you don't have the ability to project your sex appeal you can't be BADD.
If there's someone interested in working with you, where can they see your work?
Regimephotography.com or on Instagram @Shootme2propa
Also, what is your booking info for those who are ready to work with you?
You can book your shoot at regimephotography.com deposit required.
What do you expect from the model, other than the deposit, when booking a shoot?
An idea as to what they want to shoot or what they want the images to look like. I hate when people come to me and book a shoot then say "You're the photographer, I want to do whatever your vision is". Immediate refund lol
What is one thing everybody should know about you and your love for great photos?
l'm cool to work with. Great personality but I expect you to work as hard as I do and I work my ass off. So expect to lose butt when you work with me lol.
