“ I want people to feel HOPEFUL. To know there will be an end to this madness and that we must trust in each other, in Humanity to get through this.”
It all started when…
SOULDEGA: What drew you into pursing photography?
SOUL FULL: Photography never really was something I’d thought I would do because for most of my life I’ve been an athlete. It wasn’t until i stopped playing basketball that I picked up a camera. My mom has always had cameras and took lots of pictures and make scrapbooks but it never occurred to me that I’d be doing photography. I took some classes in college as an elective and that’s where I learned film photography. Then it took off from there!
SOULDEGA: As a new mother, did you notice any change in your works or process of photographing ?
SOUL FULL: Yes even when i was pregnant i knew there was gonna be some stuff that I couldn’t do or didn’t want to do. I didn’t go out to do many shoots when I was pregnant so I decided to make a photography book.
SOULDEGA: We really enjoyed your virtual art show through your web site. It was a refreshing way to view an exhibit during such a challenging time. How did you come up with the idea?
SOUL FULL: The idea really came to me. I’ve been planning an actual art show but with everything going on I didn’t want people to think I wasn’t gonna have a show that they’ve been anticipating
SOULDEGA: What feeling do you hope your viewers walk away with?
SOUL FULL: I want people to feel HOPEFUL. To know there will be an end to this madness and that we must trust in each other, in Humanity to get through this.
SOULDEGA: We love the rawness you capture in your pieces. Can you name any photographers deceased or living who inspired your style?
SOUL FULL: I love Renell medrano from New York. I also love my mentor Richard Billick’s work
SOULDEGA: Lastly, how do you plan to continue on with your craft during this time difficult time of social distancing?
SOUL FULL: I plan to use Instagram and my website to share content that may bring hope and awareness. I may even try to photograph some things if I can.
