Rodney ‘Avo’ Omeokachie is freelance commercial photographer and creative consultant from Nigeria. He shoots a variety of genres, but focuses on a mastery of portraiture. Here’s a look at what gear he uses to capture his unique and vibrant portraits.
Mediocrity, Mastery and the Mindset that Separates Them Both
Everyone’s journey to mastery is different, but the idea is the same: if you’re good at something, get better and stop making excuses.
Developing Style
Style hardly develops by simply wishing your work looked a certain way. It develops by trying things, making mistakes and being conscious of the process.
Passion Isn’t Everything
Deep down, I was disappointed. I was letting myself down. It was another project that I was putting in the “unfinished pile”. I knew I had to arrest this downward spiral before it degenerated into total failure.
Inspiration
While we all might feel the tendency to stand over our work like a proud mother and explain exactly what we meant by the light streaks of green or how the depth of field shifts the focus, the explanation of a work can only hinder someone else’s journey through it.
