Creative of The Week: PejaMane, Photographer and DJ.

What passions do you share with photography?

With photography, I share my short term vision with everyone. I want people to see exactly how I see the world. Everything I publish is how the entire shoot played in my mind even before I made the photos.

What do you hope to accomplish through photography?

Through photography I plan on using it as my vessel to travel the world. I want to photograph all kinds of people while keeping the basic art principles in play. I hope one day that my images have the same power as those old paintings that hang in museums today.

Dream career? Specific type of photographer you hope to be?

A photographer for Vogue is probably my ultimate goal right now. I want my photos to be a normal thing to see inglobal media. I want people to see them and be like, “Peja shot that”. Following and photographing a major artist would be fun as well.

Would you consider yourself confident in your work?

Yeah, highly confident ; however, I have my days where I wish I chose to do something else with my life. When I see others making it via photography it gives me hope but it's discouraging sometimes too, only because there's a million other people out here that makes pictures too.

Do you see any connection b/w your photography and your DJing?

Yes. Both are my forms of expression. I use the music to create a certain mood, the same way I do with my photography. Music is one of the most powerful tools and being able to mix songs together and get reactions feels the same way when people enjoy seeing my photos.
