Today we’d like to introduce you to Perkins.
Hi Perkins, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
I started getting into taking photos when I was in high school I dropped it but when I moved to Florida from Texas I got way more into art and photography it was a way to get out of my head and escape eventually I started getting paid for it doing photo shoots here and there.
But shortly before all of that I met Jaylin we became cool pretty quick one day I called him and said we should make a collective that we’d come together and do photos and editing Jaylin has an eye when it comes to photography and editing I’ve never seen anyone edit like him at all his perspective is from a different they way he sees certain things in pictures is incredible and he’s really gifted and talented.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No honestly speaking it wasn’t a smooth road I’d be lying if I said it was easy and people who say it is are one hundred percent lying to you there were weeks and months were I felt like I couldn’t take a good picture or edit something the way I wanted to.
I was hard on myself and in some ways I still am but what made it easy for me was being able to adapt to my environment to what I was doing I thank god for all the challenges, changes, and struggles because they made me stronger I also thank him for giving me the ability to adapt.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
There are a lot of photographers and editors like me and Jaylin, but the thing that separates us from all of those other people is our drive in our perspective and how much we love art I feel like people just don’t love as much as we do.
If I’m being honest we really love we do like we set the bar high and being that we have a love for it it’s easier in some aspects because some people don’t really love it they just do it for the money and their product is trash no offense of course but it’s the truth if you don’t love something don’t do it you’ll always fail because there’s gonna be somebody that loves it more than you and that’s gonna give them an edge.
We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on luck and what role, if any, you feel it’s played for you.
I don’t believe in luck, but I believe in blessings I feel like for somebody to say oh you’re lucky is like an insult because what about all the hard work and effort I put in?
Do you think that was just luck? So again, I don’t believe in luck. I believe in blessings I believe that everything was written out the way it was supposed to be and that there is no luck.
