If I do something, it's "go big, or go home", and this blog is going 'home'...retirement home. Operating a business is tedious work, but a labor of love nonetheless. A blog, in and of itself is like a business!

Having a blog is a great addition to your business, if you have the time and commitment to its growth. In my case, I tried something that simply doesn't work for me right now, but I am greatly satisfied to say that at least I tried it!

Call (323) 596-1483 or email shay@imagesofhue.com to schedule your portrait photo shoot. With Images of Hue Photography, it's all about YOU.

Talk about a portrait of an Icon. Bob Marley spoke of love, in every form through his music. This portrait channels a happy, relaxed spirit of Marley. You can't help but crack a smile if you look at this long enough. What was he laughing about, or who was he laughing with? Nonetheless, it's a classic.

Janet knows how to rock a portrait shot everytime. I think she would make an interesting photographer, don't you think?

How would you describe your line of work?


- WELL...ITS URBAN CLOTHING WITH AN AFRICAN CENTERED APPEAL. IT'S ABOUT GIVING HOMAGE TO THE ANCESTORS AND ALSO BEING ABLE TO WEAR CLOTHES THAT EXPRESS WHATEVER IT IS YOU WANT TO DISPLAY ABOUT YOURSELF, COMMUNITY AND CULTURE.




How does your work contribute to the enrichment of the black community?


- I CREATE MY CLOTHES TO GIVE THE PEOPLE IN MY COMMUNITY A VOICE. I KEEP MY CLOTHES REASONABLE SO THAT PRICE ISN'T AN ISSUE AND I STICK TO THE MESSAGE SO THAT I NEVER APPEAR FLAKY, CONTRADICTING OR HYPOCRITICAL.


Who has influenced your career?


- MY OTHER COLLEAGUES IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY, LRG, POETRY, FELA KUTI, MUSIC, POLITICS, AFRICA, ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH THE BETTERMENT OF MY COMMUNITY, PEOPLE, AND CULTURE. ALOT OF TIMES PEOPLE ON THE STREETS GIVE ME INSPIRATION DEPENDING ON WHAT THEY'RE WEARING OR WHAT I WOULD WANT TO SEE PEOPLE IN.

Simple. Timeless.

As a Portrait Photographer, I'm always looking for creative ways to make my clients' experience feel rich and technologically-forward. This can definitely help boost that experience!
