The beautiful view from the rooftop of Embassy Suites in Indianapolis while shooting promotional photos for the live-action version of Static Shock!
My friend and INSANE photographer Arjuna Capulong (junagraphy.com) took this photo…
His work has always made me think about photography the same way Kanye and Hendrix make me think about music. It’s game-changing stuff.
Thanks for the kind words, Parker! It’s always an encouraging push when people support and follow my work so closely!
It’s been a while since I’ve updated Junagraphy, but it’s because I have a lot of projects going on… But now that I’ve just graduated from high school, I’ll have a lot more time on my hands and you’ll all be seeing the fruits of the labor soon enough!
Also, BINBONNERY is a culture project that I’ve had under wraps for a long time, but will be starting up very soon… I don’t want to say much more, but keep an eye out! I guarantee you’ll be hearing about it soon enough.

I love the I Hurt I Am In Fashion blog! I was very excited to discover that they captioned one of my photos.
If you have yet to discover the brilliance that is “I Hurt I Am In Fashion,” it’s a satirical blog that pairs the glamour of fashion photography with sarcastic, but ingenious captions. What you get is an eye-opening social commentary covering some of the controversies and absurdities of the fashion industry. The blog is beloved by GQ, NotCot, Jezebel, among a long list of other popular fashion blogs and websites. This may very well become one of your new favorite fashion blogs.
By the way, I did a tribute photoshoot for I Hurt I Am In Fashion, check it out if you haven’t already!

YEEZYFLUENCE: Let’s take a moment to talk about how Kanye West influences each of us on an individual level. Besides helping run this blog with my fellow broYe, JC, I also run a photography blog called Junagraphy. Anyone who listens to Yeezy and goes through my work would be able to see the hints of Ye influences here and there. No doubt, the man’s aesthetic as a whole has had its influence on my art, my fashion, and even some of my personal philosophies. All I know is if I ever succeed in my own endeavors, I’d have to admit… YEEZY TAUGHT ME.
“People always say that you can’t please everybody. I think that’s a cop-out. Why not attempt it? ‘Cause think of all the people you will please if you try.”
“I do have an ego and rightfully so. I think people should have an ego. Think about it - I don’t offend people, I don’t put anyone down. Do I name names or bring people down? That’s not my thing. But I give myself big-ups. I feel good about the music I make.”
“I’m a star, how can I not shine?”- Three of my favorite Kanye West quotes.
Who’s got their own Yeezyfluence stories?
I can’t even with this man. I love him so much there are no words. I will defend him over and over again. He’s the only hip-hop/pop artist [that I know of, besides maybe GaGa] that works so hard to put so much culture and art into his music. His videos are “moving paintings” and every lyric and song has a special deeper meaning. He’s a true poet and idgaf what anyone says about him or his massive ego, he’s still probably the only celeb I would weep on the spot for if I got to meet him. [Okay, and maybe GaGa too :) ]

I almost forgot about this one too… They just look straight badass here.
Editorial for Indianapolis Fashion Collective
One more of the unused photos from the editorial I shot for IFC. Loved working those balloons though…
Times Square, New York City

Reblogging again because I’m currently missing New York…
One of the unused photos from my most recent editorial for the Indianapolis Fashion Collective. It was fun trying to capture Avery in the air just right (I’m sure any other photographers can relate to these sort of actions shots). I’ll be posting photos from the editorial soon, but if you want to take an early look, feel free!
Oh yeah, by the way, I’m gonna try to be catching up with the 365 Amy Chen Challenge… Fallen behind quite a bit, but I’ll do my best to catch up in the next couple days.
BIG WORLD. NOWHERE TO RUN.
Yes, that was a Kanye West inspired title.
