Dequan Smith..I met a couple of years ago at a time that I had not yet fully explored my passion of photography & graphic art. Yet, during this time, I was quietly researching & learning techniques. In my head I would pretend to be a model scout. (I'm telling you a lot lol right now..but I'm happy to share..it's me :) ) I would see potential models and imagine the greatest of images in my head.
..At many points along the way of my dreaming, I faced a constant reminder. I was reminded that faith without putting some work behind it, is almost useless. I couldn't keep living in my mind anymore..So, I took the leap into this wonderful photography land.
It was time to dream during the day and make my imagination come to life!
So, back to Dequan Smith..
The first week of June 2011, I began looking for a new face to capture. I thought of Dequan, a young man who I found to be quiet, hard working, respectable, and full of potential. I asked him, and thankfully he excitedly said, "YES!"
So modeling world..I introduce to you a fresh new face that I know you will love (and a recent high school graduate CONGRATULATIONS Dequan!!!).
Just as the images depict a young man finding his way ..I hope you all can enjoy the bright journey this young man is destined to have!
