It's crazy because my first concert ever was a Travis Scott concert so
it's pretty crazy that I'm his main photographer now, it just shows like
you can really do anything you want
yo ray
yeah I literally moved here from where I'm from and I knew nobody
like I practiced my photos like with him, it was a all manual camera so,
I knew nothing, I didn't go to school for photography, nothing, so I know nothing
about settings ISO anything. So nobody would want to shoot with me except Osiris
he would always be like, 'I want to shoot with you, I don't care
about anybody else, let's keep shooting shit' and I remember one day I was with
Ian, Ian Connor was like, 'Yo, pull up with me let's just shoot today' and then
I just shot him and then after that, it was just like more people started
hitting me up and we went to Atlanta and [Playboi] Carti was there
after he dropped 'Broke Boi' and everything i used to just see him here and there and then one day
he's just like 'Yo what are you doing tomorrow?' and I was like 'Shit nothing, I'm
free why what's up?' and he sent me a flight like 'Yo come on tour with me'
Travis was the, it was the most randomest thing he like sent my manager a picture of me it
and was like 'I want to meet this kid' like when I seen that was like 'wow this is
like crazy like this is happening like I'm from like a little ass town' and then
my manager showed me and I was like holy shit like what does he want to do this
and then he was like tomorrow
hold that just keep doing that
i dont really talk much to people
like if I'm in the room I'm probably quietest person in the room you know I'm saying
there's sometimes like I just meet people first like there's been times
where I've been in a room and I don't even shoot and I'm just there just to like
catch the vibe first and then like they'll invite me like the next day and
be like let's shoot today you know I'm saying
some of these kids dont understand
like they wonder why like they don't have like a bond with these people
because like they'll take a picture of them looking crazy and post it just to
have them like people who I take photos of these you tell me like yo your photos
are like the best of me I ever seen
let's get a little more laying down with the ball
everytime i do big shoots
shoots they're like what is like your rider like what do you need I'm just like
nothing I'll just pull up like some water and candy that's all I really need
it doesnt matter about the camera its really about how you think you're gonna shoot it
i work with osiris and imran
because like they're as raw as it gets, it's like if we like it we're
gunna do it and then if u like it, then you like it you know what im saying
we just do what we like to do
yo double flip real quick?
in platforms?
the NBA, Nike shoot I got on a call with it was like all of us in
there like yeah so this campaigns basically based off your Instagram I was whoa thats insane
they were like yeah like we want the thing to look like
your Instagram like aesthetic wise color wise everything I told them on the phone
can you repeat that? like i didnt believe they said that and then
everybody started laughing
where you at
shit I'm doing this HYPEBEAST thing right now they about to
record me seeing my billboard where you at
oh dope thats sick
its over here right
I didn't even like this photo at first and then I sent it and i was like i like it
yeah I know, i think theres more, these are crazy
I'm not from New York I'm a kid from like a little town I just moved
here knowing nobody and now I have like billboards all over New York
for everybody to see like my photo is like amazing like it's amazing feeling
it makes you like to show that actually things do happen
its like real, New York City
in front of Madison Square
i remember us in the same crib just chillin playing video games and then like plottin on
like ideas and shit that and then to see shit come alive like this is like great
kids look up to me
so for them to see that I'm getting billboards is like, shows that if I can
do it they can do it too which is true if I can do it they can do it just as
much even better probably
you can't be doing things thinking about
if I do this am I gonna meet this person because then you're not going to
like you're doing something cuz you like doing it life is gonna reward you like
you just have to shoot because you like shooting, and then things will come
