HOW DID YOU DISCOVER YOUR CRAFT?
I reached out to a childhood friend who’s also a photographer, I told him the idea that was coming to my mind & he agreed to shoot it with him, we shot it and the pictures went viral, people started reaching out to me and boom, that was how I went full time into fashion styling. I didn’t know that it was called fashion styling then; he was the one that told me what it was called which further led me to research about it.
