Deon Mars
I began taking photos with my phone then eventually I realized that I had a knack for capturing candid shots and playing with interesting angles. My partner noticed my passion and surprised me with my first camera. So sweet and supportive, right? I know!
As a Black, queer person, my photography consists mainly of editorial and portrait shots that elevate the individuality and uniqueness of LGBTQ+ folks and Black people. I make sure to highlight the power and diversity of us while promoting self love, acceptance and re-defining our narrative. It’s my love of my people that consistently motivates and inspires me, and that love is uncompromising.
The Process
01. Connect
First, we'll get the boring stuff out the way. We will go over my rate and any additional add-ons you may need. I will then send a receipt for the deposit and a reminder for when the balance is due.
Contracts and Fine Print
02. Conceptualize
Now to the fun stuff! Time to tell me your visions for your shoot. You don't have to be too specific but be sure to have a
general idea as to what you want to achieve. I'm also happy to send concepts that I feel will represent the vibe you're
going for.
Develop Your Vision
03. Create
This is the super fun part! Based on the concepts discussed, I will be using various lighting, backdrops and/or props to bring your shoot to life. I also provide music of your choice and chill ambiance so you can relax and be comfortable.
