"Pro vs Amateur"

Insight of The COVID-19 pandemic my heart goes out to any and all of the families affected, I personally know so many people who passed due to this virus. I pray that God and all of the angels in the spirit realm provided an abundance of healing to the people who are suffering.  I hope that you all out there are practicing the proper safety measures to protect yourself. In a time of darkness, I hope this sheds a little light many blessings! 

I really want to give a huge shout out to my little big brother Winston, because he inspired this video. I was initially reluctant however after the third day of him coming over to my house harassing me to shoot I finally agreed. What excites me the most about this shoot is bearing witness to his ambition and enthusiasm, I love seeing the growth!

From Haiti to America

October 2018, I was heading home from work when I saw Jean walking in the direction of where I live. I quickly pulled my car over hopped out and proceeded to introduce myself. I saw potential and I did not want it to get away, I expressed my interest in shooting we then exchanged contacts. Months had passed before I heard from Jean I didn’t think he was interested in shooting until I received a text from him at the beginning of the year. He informed me he would be ready to shoot sometime in May, it couldn’t get here fast enough. Through texted we talked life, photography, modeling, shooting, etc, I told him I wanted to create something striking and he was sold. I took him over to one of my favorite places to create here in Lincoln Park and we made some magic happen. With the use of natural and strobe lighting we were able to create some stunning imagery.

DJI Mavic Pro

          Building on the business I was fortunate enough to make a few purchases this year ranging from lighting, audio equipment , a new printer, a few hard drives, and most excitingly a drone. When most people make investments it is to see a return or profit, on the flip side I like to think that any investments made on my end are essentially tools that helps me create. Although I have not dedicated much time into doing some in depth reviews however, I manage to test out some the new gadgets. I am particularly excited about getting the DJI Mavic Pro because this broadens my horizon opening the door into subjects such as aerial photography, and making some “Kick Ass Work” as photographer Chase Jarvis would say, ultimately increasing my production value. For months I was truly undecided on what to make a purchase on, a drone or stabilizer. 

          The DJI Ronin was another spectacle I wanted to get my hands on.  After reaching out to a couple of friends they were all leaning towards investing in the stabilizer so what did I do, I got the drone and oh my am I happy with my decision lol. I wanted the Mavic Pro so bad I could taste it, but I knew I couldn’t justify spending $1000 especially when I did not have the money. To make a long story short, as a late Christmas gift my wife gave me $500 bucks and said spend it on whatever you want, boy did that make my day. Here’s what officially sold me on getting the Mavic. One day, I headed to my BJ’s Wholes to pick up some groceries after entering the store I noticed as sign in the electronic department that read “DJI Mavic Drone, $589. I thought to myself there is no way, in BJ’s? Boy was I puzzled! Even at the reduced price this drone still retails around $800/900. I inspected it over and over my eagerness got the best of me, I then took the sign over to customer service to inquire. To my surprise not only was it true, but I was informed that it was the very last one in stock. “I’ll Take” was my reply. All I can remember leaving the store calling my good friend and fellow photographer StevieD sounding like a little kid yelling “I got the Drone” I almost forgot the groceries I am partly embarrassed to even share this story but man I was excited. So now that I have shared my story and enthusiasm please enjoy this short clip I put together using the DJI Mavic Pro, “Vertigo Effect” 

Oh yeah, not to mention a few days into flying the drone I crashed it : (
