Whats ya name &  where you from?

- Kasey Stokes, Born and raised in Los Angeles, California..



How many years have you been a photographer?

- 3 years and going..



What is you favorite camera? And why?

- I don't have a favorite camera at the moment, cause I've only been able to use my Nikon d40 and d500.. but I've handle a Nikon d60 & d90.. and I'd have to say the d40 was my favorite to use.. very user friendly. But I'm waiting for the day i can cop the d700, that might be my favorite camera one day..

What makes you different from any other person with a camera?

- My perspective of the world, and how I see things is different.. While some people just have cameras just to have them to be cool, that's my opinion.



Team Nikon ? Or Canon?

- Team Nikon from day one.



Who are the top 3 people you would love to have a photo shoot with? Dead or Alive?

1. Marilyn Monroe..She was such a natural behind the lens, with a gorgeous smile..


2. Emmanuelle Chriqui from entourage. She's beautiful..


3. And new coming Jasmine Sanders. because she's around my age ahaha *kanye shrug*

Who is one of your favorite photographers?

- A dude named "Boogie" from NY visit his website http://www.artcoup.com/

dude is dope.

Whats the hardest thing about photography that people may not know ?

- Good question.. I would have to say making sure your model is comfortable with you. If the model hasn't opened up to you, your shots will be dry and dull.. Also having the courage and confidence to take charge and give direction when its needed.
