Derek Blanks


From what I have seen in magazines, online and on TV, Derek Blanks is Atlanta's go to photographer for hip-hop and celebs. I have seen him featured on America's Next Top Model a few times, seen him on Making The Band, as well as Real Housewives Of Atlanta. Yeah, I watch way too much reality TV. The shots that he did on ANTM of the models as two different alter egos reminds me of the assignment that we are doing for Greg. I guess he has been exploring the alter ego thing a lot.
I like the fact that he shoots musicians in the glammed way that he shoots them. It's kinda glossy and takes me back a bit to the 70s. I love old album cover art and he is kind of bringing that back.
