A Boss Like Us Interview
BossLikeUs: Where are you from & how old are you?
J.D.: Dallas, TX, Born and raised, with help from Beaumont and Corpus Christi...lol
BossLikeUs: How long have you been doing photography?
J.D.: since as long as I could pick up a camera, but the shots weren't always good, seeing as how I was 5, but as the years progressed it became a hidden talent, in High School I was the D.E.C.A. 'Media' Officer in charge of photo and video. Long story short, I bought a cam in Jan. 2008 and I have been taking over Dallas since.
BossLikeUs: How did Pikture Perfekt come about?
J.D.: back in 2007 I was chilling chopping (talking) it up with Bryan Blue of 'Unkommon Kolor" <--- Google it) and he was talking about how he is going to have UK on the map and he needed a photographer, so I was like man let’s keep it all in the family, so I bought a cam and it’s been history since. "Pikture Perfekt" came from an event, Blue, me and other friends called ourselves 'Fresh 2 Def' and we had a Pikture Perfect Party, so I was like Blue, and my name is going to be Pikture Perfekt! And History had begun!
BossLikeUs: Most feels that photography is an easy gig to get in to & that all you need is a camera and a little knowledge in Photoshop. What is your opinion on that?
J.D.: Photography, itself, is easy, but it takes a real good eye to visualize, imagine, create, and execute the proper skills. ANYONE can pick up a camera and snap shots, but it takes some skill to aim and shoot. And as far as 'Photoshop' I have only used it for placing logos, not to make anyone look fake!
BossLikeUs: Pikture Perfekt has a lot of buzz going around in the Dallas/ Ft. Worth Area; can you give us a few names of people that you’ve worked with and places you have shot?
J.D.: I have been able to shoot people like A.N.T, B-Hamp, Wreckamic, Chalie Boy, DeWun Music, Dorrough Music, Bay Bay, Teflon, Tekniq, T.O. Greg Ellis, Roy Williams, B-10, not to mention all of my Perfekt Peeps I see in the clubs! As far as places, anywhere the money is, is good with me!
BossLikeUs: 2011 is now here… What do hope to accomplish this year?
J.D.: I plan on becoming more established as a photographer, creating job opportunities with my company, I hope to have my studio space/building and I want to see next year and all it has to offer.
BossLikeUs: If you had the choice to be something other than be a photographer what would it be?
J.D.: I would be a fisherman, somewhere fishing in SE/Texas or Corpus area, just fishing my Life away, but I get to meet so many great people with my Photography I don’t think I would change it for anything, but fishing...lol
BossLikeUs: Where can we find more of your work?
J.D.: Facebook is the thing now so, that’s where I’m at! www.piktureperfekt.com coming soon!
BossLikeUs: If you can shoot anyone at anyplace, who and where would it be?
J.D.: I would want to shoot the person reading this where ever they want...lol but I think I would want to shoot a historical figure in their 'hay-day' MLK, Johnny C at the OJ trial, M. Jackson dancing, something like that.
BossLikeUs: Are you single?
J.D.: yes I am, sucks on them cold nights, but it’s about to warm up! lol
BossLikeUs: What music are you listening to right now?
J.D.: Moment for Life - Nikki and Drake
BossLikeUs: Any last shout outs?
J.D.: S/O to everyone that has had the opportunity to be in front of my camera, all of the promoters that I have worked with, Rappers, models, actors, athletes, babies, animals...lol all that! Truth be told, I wouldn't be anywhere without the people in my everyday life, I Love You all, and I hope to have a great future with you. S/O to everyone that hasn't been 'Pikture Perfekt' I’m in DALLAS, come see me!
