Tierra:Where were you born?
D Blanks:Jackson, Mississippi
Tierra:Where do you live?
D. Blanks:Atlanta, Georgia
Tierra:When did you decide that this is what you want to do?
D. Blanks:In the 3rd Grade. I was introduced to photographer at a fairly young age during my tenure in Creative Arts School. I became attached to it because of the instant gratification. I have a background in Illustraion and with this, portraits take 20-30 hrs where as a photo is instant.
Tierra: Are there any celebrities that you’ve worked with?
D.Blanks: Jennifer Hudson, Ciara, Beyonce, Akon, Estelle, Eva Pigford, Rockmond Dunbar, Angela Bassett, Faith Evans and more, just to name a few LOL
Tierra:Which Celebrities fit your style, and that you would want to work with?
D. Blanks: Any Celebrity who is fashion forward and is driven by creativity.
Tierra:Which celebrity could put on anything and look good? (male or female)
D. Blanks: Eva Pigford hands down! Eva is a traditional model. Any great model can put on anything and make it look good, as she does so effortlessly.
Tierra:What’s the best thing about working with a new model?
D.Blanks: The new model is a blank canvas in a sense and takes good direction while allowing room for personal growth and development.
Tierra: What’s the worst thing about shooting a new model?
D. Blanks: Lack of experience, knowledge and posing in front of the camera, but not in all cases.
Tierra: Do you work better with gels, lights or natural light?
D. Blanks: I’m confident enough in my craft to say that I feel as though I work well with all. It is in my experience that any good photographer can work well with all lighting scenarios and environments.
Tierra: Do you enjoy shooting by the water?
D. Blanks: Yes…
Tierra: Do you make your own sets or you enjoy going on location?
D. Blanks: Depending upon the project, yes. It keeps the concept fresh and creative. I enjoy locations as well because they sometimes present challenges and provide refreshing, new environments.
Tierra: What is some advice that you can give to a future male/female model?
D. Blanks: Study your craft, own it, profect it and continued to be a work in progress.
Tierra: If there is one celebrity who you could shoot who would it be?
D. Blanks: Angelina Jolie
Tierra: If there was one magazine that you could shoot for who would that be?
D. Blanks: Vogue
Tierra: What do you hate most when it comes to a photoshoot?
D.Blanks: The delay. Sometimes all of the componets (hair, make-up, wardrobe) can prove to be extremely intollerable as far as the time length because I shoot rather quickly.
Tierra: What type of atmosphere do you like to work in? (a lot of people on set,
music, drinks, etc.)
D. Blanks: I like being around creative and positve people (my team), lots of music and great clients with positive attitudes who are willing to take direction and be creative.
Tierra: Any projects coming up that we should know about?
D Blanks: My Alter-Ego Pictorial book. Also, I’m working on something BIG that everyone will just have to stay tuned for.
