Dondria

Dondria !  This girl is gewd ! But only in videos where she's singing other peoples songs ! I don't know if she writes her own songs or whatever but that "You're The One" song she had ? It was nice and sweet but it was also straight forward as hayle :/. I was disappointed because I was looking for alot more coming from her, you know, the Phatfffat side of her. Don't get me wrong: I like the song because it's a nice, up beat r&b tempo, warm feeling love song.. and it's her first being in the industry. But baby when you have an above average voice and you sing an average sounding song, you sound no better than Keri Hilson (gag), Ciara (gag gag) and etc. And that "Shawty Wasup" that she released shortly after..I wont even get into that Destiny's Child remix sounding stuff lol. She has learn how to make her own song into her own, like she does when she covers other celebrities songs. She might like her own lyrics but when she sings it but it sounds like she doesn't looove or feel  her own because You're The One was a little dry. 

Now I haven't heard the rest of her album yet- I might of heard some songs since I've heard random songs by her but a lot of her work doesn't compare to her covers :(. Personally, I think its J.D. I mean,who on J.D.'s team is still relevant ? Oh. Her duets with that Broadway dude are pretty good though. Broadway is a decent singer but he sounds like he needs to work on his breathing; he seems to strain when he sings sometimes but still decent nevertheless. Nothing a good vocal coach couldn't help with.  Shorty is definatley coming into her own and I can't wait to hear more from her soon. I have been listening to her on youtube for years, my first song being her covering Anthony Hamilton's Charlene. Chile I still listen to that song 'til this day because I still love that song and I love her voice. Dondria has this effortless yet playful voice when she sings. Her personality definitely shows through her covers ! When somebody sing a song and improvise in ways that different from the original singer, and it sounds just as good or better, it'll keep me listening :].

GOOD MUSIC - I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU LISTEN AND SUBSCRIBE !

Ryan Powell

Ryan Powell is a 23 year old photographer from West Philadelphia. I'm really excited to interview him because he's one of the dopest photographers in Philadelphia right now, no lie ! Ryan can take a regular setting with his camera and transform it into this supreme oasis by way of his models.  


Look at the two pictures above and below this text. The quality is stellar. And I'm not just talking about the camera. The energy that both of these models give as well as Ryan's artistic angle is stunning ! 


Ryan's one of those photographers that could use a low quality cell phone camera and still out-caption the shot of an amateur photographer shooting the same subject with the latest dslr camera. No exaggeration though.  I always tell people the camera can kick rocks, its all about how the photographer captures the subject.

How long have you been doing photography? 


I have been doing photography for almost two years.

How would you consider your photographic style ?

My style is mainly fashion photography. But my own spin on photography.. hmm, I am the type to do almost anything to get a great shot, and I pretty much stay calm and cool.

Who or What had influenced you to do photography ?


Nobody has influenced me to take it up , but there have been alot of inspiring photographers and photographs that helped me to find my style of photography. Photographers who inspire me are Sam Kaczur, Ryan Doco Connors, and Marc Vallee.

What kind of camera do you use ? 


I use a Cannon Rebel XS.


What do you hope to accomplish with your photography ? 


What I really hope to accomplish is to become GREAT at what I do. Also I just want to continue to improve, no matter how high my skill level reaches.

What do you do like to do for fun in your spare time ? 


I like hanging out with friends and family, playing video games (I love video games to death), improving on my art skills, and trying to continually educate myself.

Do you have any other advice or food for thought for people who are interested in photography ?

My advice to others is to be yourself, never copy anyone else and also develop your own style.


Solid, Solid....


But the guy and the girl in that hot tub ? Killer! Shorty look like she's not doing her part and he's looking at ME to get over there ! Or her, or you.. pause if applicable. The brother is clearly giving the camera face to the fullest, and luckily Ryan managed to catch his dominating glimpse on camera.


I also love that model in the hat looking away towards her right. A simply timeless, classic beauty shot. I live for shots when models pose effortlessly, doing whatever it is that their doing naturally. Or atleast they make you think it was unintentional.  Sort of like artists who draw, still-life fruit on a table or paint a scene of people socializing with other characters. Ryan's model has on a regular outfit, which I didn't notice the first couple of times I looked because I so drawn to the remarkable energy her face gives. It goes to show you that clothes don't make the person- or the shot. Ultra dope.
I honestly don't know what she's sitting in front of. But I always thought it was a piano. But then I seen her bag on like she's waiting for somebody. Hmm, I dont know *throw hands up* lol.. I guess the musician in me thought the latter.
