Testimony
After being suicidal for months and suffering from depression I had a near death experience where I had to decide live or die. I chose to live. I moved to La December 20th 2013 the day that marked my fathers 10th year passing. Once in los Angeles I had no home food or job. I found a shelter and begin job searching. Everyday I would leave the shelter dressed like I was rich and catch the bus to Beverly Hills. One day I was in Barneys NY and saw one of my favorite singers. We spoke briefly about what pieces were suitable for his show. Shortly after I began as an temporary stylist and personal shopper. From there I used my creative insight and photography knowledge to become a fashion street photographer for celebrities. I quickly stood out and work extra hard. Within this time frame I now have 5 celebrity clients, published photos in Star OK! In Touch and People magazine, my photos have word on TMZ MTV NEWS WENDY WILLIAM'S AND COUNTLESS NEWS OUTLETS. My photos even made E! Networks Christina Milian Turned Up. I'm grateful and will continue to greater success.
