Inside The Mind - Tessi Seokolo
Turkey, Austria, South Africa, France, Holland, is quite a lot of places for a person only 23 years old to have said he has actively lived in. One thing i get a lot from people is that i am living many of their dreams or that many wish they could trade places with me. Although i do acknowledge having resided in all of these places it had given me a unique perspective on a lot of things many people don’t. However there is a distinction i’d like to make, there is a massive difference between simply traveling to all these places and living in all of them. Because from where i stand, its the biggest blessing but also the biggest challenge that i will carry with me for the rest of my life. I guess not having a “home” is an unconscionable concept to most people, spending your childhood in one place, your formative years in another and pre-adult life in another really stuns your development as a person and i am an example of that. It isn’t all negative though, being all over the place gives me a higher empathetic capacity for different behaviors than most people do, however it molds you into a person that isn’t exactly the most sociable.
Breaking Out Of Your Comfort Zone - Courtney Gunter
What's some advice that you can pass along to inspire some other females to let go and break out of their comfort zone?
I think the most important thing is not being afraid to network with other creatives and professionals. Message anyone in the industry even if it’s just to grab a coffee and learn about other people’s journey. It will help you find you own way when you realize how similar our paths all are.
5 Minutes With — Oreste Mercado
What got you interested in the kind of photography and content you produce?
I do not really classify myself as just a photographer since I also do graphic design. My interest in graphic design came about around my sophomore year in high school. I wanted to make a banner for my friend's YouTube channel. I never opened up Photoshop before that so I was completely clueless.
The Gift of Prophecy
So much love for all the support you show to us and the UG Fam! Start us off by telling us a little about yourself and how you decided on the name Prophecy?
I got the idea of the name by a song titled “A Prophecy” by a band called Asking Alexandria. I am one of those people that are just obsessed with music im constantly listening to something and at that time of my life that one song resonated with me
CATCHING UP WITH - MARTIN MOORE
HOW'S IT GOING MAN?! IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG! HOPE ALL IS WELL ON YOUR END. SO CATCH US UP! WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON IN YOUR WORLD? HOW'S THE "LIFE OF CREATIVE" BEEN?
I’ve been crazy busy over the past year! I’m still making Commercials and doing Photoshoots for Koss Headphones (the brand I work for full-time) but for the most part everything I’m doing creatively that’s “New” has been in the form of sharing my journey as a creative; doing tons of Podcasts, Speaking Engagements, interviews as well as my new radio show on 620 WTMJ here in Milwaukee…
“Find Your Voice” By : Takoda Patterson
I know that’s probably a weird thing to say when it comes to photography but think about it for a second. What does your body of work say about you as a artist? Does your work say anything and if not, do you want it to?
Stuck In A Box or Stuck In Your Head?
Every now and then you will wake up and feel like everything that you’ve done up to this point has been for nothing. That you’ve been working and working towards the life that you want and haven’t got any closer than you were when you first started the journey. Those mornings are the hardest ones to get through and some of us don’t make it through in the ways that we’d like to.

Pedro Espronceda: "Not really a photographer, more of an Artist."
[Remmy.] So I see in your twitter bio you have "Not really a photographer" which kind of led me to the Interview title haha…
[Pedro E.] Haha it's kinds weird.. I feel like a “photographer” is more of a certified college student who took classes and with a paper that labels them as a “photographer.”
I consider myself more of an artist…

Sofia Azarpira: This is L.A. but it's no "City of Angels"
[Q] How do you or have you been setting yourself apart from what I like to call the “weekend photographers”…
[SOFIA.] I don’t really look at photography as a competition. I try and stay clear of those types of creatives who like that. If you want to make a name for yourself I think interacting with other creatives is the way to go.
