Stylist to the Stars…

Where were you born?
Miami Fl
Where do you live?
Atlanta GA
When did you decide that this is what you want to do?
After I got injured during my college athlete days, and working in the music industry with My two god-Fathers John Monoply and Datu Fasion who managed Kanye West with their company call Hustle.
Do you sew as well as style?
Haven’t master that skill of sewing yet but I’m working on it.(smile) but honestly I just style.
Are there any celebrities that you’ve worked with?
Musiq Soulchild, Anthony Hamilton, Ludacris, Chingy, Tisha Campbell, Tasha Smith, Jagged Edge, Lloyd and others.
Which Celebrities fit your style, and that you would want to work with?
Celebs that fit my style is Pharrell, Kanye, and Andre 300 is one celeb I would like to work with.
Which celebrity could put on anything and look good? (male or female)
Male- my homie Pharrell, and female I would say Victoria Beckham.
Would you rather style something around a pair of boots or open toe pumps?
I would say pumps because they are sexy on a women to me.

Who would you rather see in a fitted mini dress…a size 7 with curves or a size 1 with no curves?
I’ll take the fitted mini dress size 7 with curves, I love a beautiful women with a figure.
Do you have a favorite color or fabric that you like to work with? And why?
Honestly I don’t really it all just depends on the project at the time.
What is some advice for girls out there that want to model?
Honestly, stop doing the music videos because every girl that is cute with a shape thinks she is a model, which then it limits you. Go for being the next Naiomi Campbell and go check the iconic check.
A past video/magazine experience on set…Good and Bad…
Honestly , I’m blessed to have only good experiences so far.
What helps you get creative (music,people,movies)
Everything from music, people, everyday life.
Any projects coming up that we should know about?
First go get Musiq Soulchilds “ONMYRADIO” album, and I just teamed up super celeb photographer Derek Blanks so we are teaming up on different projects.
Any shout outs?
First ,You thank you (Jami) for wanting to interview me, Musiq Soulchild, His management team, Kevin Liles the Atlantic Records family, my business partner Paris Kirk, and my publicist Tahaira Wright(branded Pr) and You again.

Celebrity Photographer D. Blanks Interview

Filed under All, Features, Industry Spotlight, Interview, Photoshoots, Tierra's Corner
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.
