When Brian Smith was just a High School student with a budding interest in making photographs, he learned that photography could earn you some significant perks – and at that age, that meant a pass to leave campus. These days he’s well known for his portraiture, including a portfolio of A-list celebrities. He sat down with DPReview Editor Barney Britton at PIX 2015 to discuss his background, career and his secret to putting all of his portrait subjects at ease in front of the camera.
When Devin Allen says that photography saved his life, he means it in a very real sense. He describes himself as ‘the oddball walking around with a camera’ in his home of West Baltimore. A 26-year-old amateur photographer with aspirations to make a career out of his work, he has become a viral sensation. His images of protests in Baltimore have amassed thousands of likes and have been shared by international media organizations around the world, including landing the cover of Time magazine.
With some serious credentials on his resume, he’s hoping to in turn inspire young artists in his community to find their own paths away from the streets. Watch his inspiring conversation with filmmaker Eric Becker and learn more about his perspective shooting the events in Baltimore.
