So i thought i’d start the beginning, well almost.

The first gig i had the opportunity to cover for Soul Culture was for Jesse Boykins iii. I’d never worked with a musician before, so was pretty nervous.
Fast forward 2 years and countless meetings and gigs later, i think i have a pretty extensive series of dope ass pics of Jesse.
Here’s a pic i took of him on my trip to New York back in September at Jesse and (Dr) Woo’s office.

When i’d arranged to meet up with him, i knew i wanted some cool portraits and had seen so many pics of him taken by some incredible photographers so i knew what i had to bring had to be fresh and overall… me.

So here’s to the Romantic Movement… Schwaza ;)
