Conceptual nominee

The series represents black women empowerment by making them goddesses. I wanted to show black women as nurturing as well as powerful in this particular series.

Hello my name is Dontez the guy that is addicted to photography and takes his camera with him everywhere he goes. I like to explore the world I live in from the abandon buildings in the city, from building a set in the photography studio, to going out in nature to create art.

I am also a published, and an award winning photographer that likes to experiment with many different techniques to fulfill what I want my pictures to look like. Currently living in Atlanta and willing to travel.

I like to talk to my clients about ideas, concepts, and the locations of the photoshoot at hand. This helps me to customize the photoshoot and bring the vision to life.



For me photography is the way i view life within itself.
