lol....not there at all...more like dudes cloggin up a lane that they see me movin in. There were several other portrait photogs around here, i was the first to be doing almost exclusively like city/urban portraits right out on the street and not special locations and i was targeting black women as my models...it's just funny cuz it's only been since January and since i knew what i was doing as a photographer already my portrait game immediately was up there in quality. So people at first were like "oh you're doing portraits, have fun with that...we urbexing and rooftopping" ...(april rolls around)..."i do portraits now...models hit me up". LOL. It's just funny cuz i think i'm good, not great. And i'm really NOT conceded, i'm just annoyed cuz i intentionally went and found a lane that i like and nobody else was doing.

@8WON6 Whats rooftopping?

running around on roof tops taking pictures of the city from above. most rooftops are locked up, so you gotta break some rules to get to most of them. dudes taking pics of their feet hangin off the side of a tall ass building for perspective and shyt.

i used to do it, but only if me and a bunch of other photog brehs was smobbing heavy.
