Brad Ogbonna photographed in Downtown Brooklyn, 15th June 2022. This is the second time Brad has asked me to take his pictures ! and I’m always a little hesitant to take another photographers portrait. Obviously they have their own ideas, but he’s was very open and receptive. Secondly I personally don’t like to be in front of the camera but his generation seem to be much more comfortable with that idea, and I think it’s the because of social media and self promotion. And lastly I’ve been reluctant in the past to hang out with photographers because it ends up being a bitch fest about the industry. Not sure if that’s true of all industries but it doesn’t really bring anything to the table. However this was a delight and we chatted about his new venture in opening a cafe / restaurant in Fort Greene, his obvious love of wine and his recent trips to Senegal and how beautiful the light is over there. #photographer #photographersportrait #portrait #mood #bw #style #mensfsshion #photographersphotographed #mediumformat #hasselblad
