Ask a professional artist/photographer anything

[Kilgore Trout]

Was never really into art but i picked up a camera randomly 5 years ago and never looked back.

Been featured in Italian Vogue, Forbes, Complex, Noisey, Fader, Vice, The Source ect, i think ive shot everyone relevant in hip hop. Biggest Clients include Universal Music Group, Sony, and AGO. Been involved in Gallery shows all over the world and had my first solo show this year.

Being a photographer is cool cause you get to see and be around a bunch of cool shyt that would normally be unattainable. You get a spectators view of the madness and since your not really part of it, you keep your sanity and perspective. My job lets me travel the world, have cool experiences, and meet a bunch of people that inspire me if your thinking about getting into it, give it a try it could change ya life.

Any questions

Are artists enthusiastic about shoots or are they label forced?

Have you ever photographed nekkid women?

yeah professionally and for fun, I dont think ill ever be desensitized to it. On professional jobs you gotta act professional but there were times where I wanted to whip my dikk out lol.

How do i get started? How much do you make?

Pick up a camera and start shooing for friends, co workers and start charging. I started by shooting at parties my friends would promote. It was a great way to increase my social network and meet the freaks. I got connected with a lot of people in the entertainment biz this way.

You can make as much as you want as long as you hustle and provide value. I shoot regular people daily but most of the money comes from commercial stuff.

what's your favorite camera to shoot with?

i use the fuji x100 a lot but I want to get a hasselblad 500 cm.

its film but it shoots images like this
