Ashley Sky and some wind in her hair.

I'm going for a atmospheric street vibe but trying to keep it minimal, feel it?

Do you consider aceofla competition or do you know each other? Both do unbelievable work.

Sat, 18 May 2013 13:02:21 -0400

To be honest I am not familiar with who that is or their work. But no, I don’t look at this as a competitive nature. I just shoot cause I love it and I am sure there is more then enough for everybody to do their thing.

So siked on the Visual tees. Well done sir. I dont know if you have read the instagram comments on the announcement picture you put up but its about 100 or more people backing you. From a complete stranger and a fan, I am proud of you and to see where this project is going. Congratulations!

Thank you! I do read all my comments and it is such a amazing feeling to have so many people say such great and kind words. Very motivating for me.

Why did you call yourself van styles?

Sat, 18 May 2013 11:43:13 -0400

A mixture of my last name and at the time I was really into a local hip-hop group titled styles of beyond.

You're such a badass. Any advice for a beginner trying to get their art/photography noticed?

Sat, 18 May 2013 11:36:42 -0400

Thank you. Just set up a platform like tumblr or instagram and go shoot what interests you. It helps to shoot subject matter or a style that is different to get noticed but in the end just being consistent with it will help. And remember nothing is instant everything takes time.

Do you ever shoot girls who are in shape but have stretch marks? Are you able to edit those out or do you pass on models with them?

Sat, 18 May 2013 11:34:08 -0400

I have, it is part of being a human so I wouldn’t necessarily pass on a girl who has them. Not everyone is perfect, I do my best to edit them out without the girl looking fake.

Do you have a YouTube channel by any chance? I would love to see some videos from you bruh.

Sat, 18 May 2013 11:32:32 -0400

Yea but I need to get on that http://www.youtube.com/user/vanstyles

I've never modeled before, I've always wanted to but I don't know where to start, any advice?

Sat, 18 May 2013 11:31:50 -0400

I would say if you know any friends that do photography that is a great start. Another way can be seeking out local photographers who have a style that you like and reach out to them. If that doesn’t work there is always selfies and instagram.

It'd be really cool if you did more shoots with Lia Lor

Sat, 18 May 2013 11:30:55 -0400

I agree.

So far which model do u think has the best personality and the most fun to hang out with?

Sat, 18 May 2013 11:27:30 -0400

Honestly they are all awesome cause they are all unique. I don’t really hang out with them outside of shooting too much but during the shoots again, they are all fun and cool otherwise I wouldn’t be there.
