Taken from his third studio album, Ready, Trey Songz finally unleashes the highly anticipated single, Neighbours Know My Name- the sixth single since the album dropped last year. Definitely one of the raunchier songs on the album and I, for one am glad to see it in visual form. It seems like Trey’s successes from 2009 are set to continue in the same fashion, but- Neighbours Know My Name Vs. I Invented Sex ~ which video do you think is more ‘X-Rated’? To help you decide here’s both for all our viewing pleasure.

For me theres nothing like a great picture captured by a great photographer, and photography happens to be one of my favorite parts of the fashion industry.  So when I started following a photographer by the name of NEEFRESH on twitter, i checked out her work and it blew me away.  So after we connected I thought it was only right that I share her work with you guys and get an interview done with Neef so we could get to know her a little bit better.

So here it is…

NEEF

INTRODUCE YOURSELF AND TELL US WHAT YOU DO?
The name is Neef Fresh. I’m a female freelance photographer from Brooklyn New york

LET US KNOW WHY YOU CALL YOURSELF NEEF FRESH?
There’s no real special reason to why I call myself Neef Fresh. Neef is a part of my first name,
and “FRESH” is just a description of my style and my aura

WHAT MADE YOU GET INTO PHOTOGRAPHY?
fashion, the love for fashion, my bro, and various other inspirations
and the love for art.

HAVE YOU HAD TO OVERCOME ANY OBSTACLES OR SETBACKS ALONG YOUR JOURNEY?
not really. the only obstacle i’d have to say is being on point and watching out for users
and people that try to befriend you because they see your potential and want to “mooch”
but other than that, that’s more personal. there’s not that much stress in what I do, i simply love it

IN YOUR OPINION, WHAT MAKES A GOOD PICTURE?
the first thing that comes to mind….

WHAT INSPIRES YOU WHEN WORKING, IF ANYTHING?
just knowing that the person I’m shooting is satisfied with the
outcome of what we’re shooting. in between frames i show the model or whomever
i’m shooting what we’ve got so far, when i see a smile on their face or hearing “that’s hot shit Neef”,
it inspires me to keep going. Knowing that I’ve got the necessary shots is dope!

WHAT CAMERA DO YOU USE?
a Canon

DO YOU HAVE ANY INFLUENCES OR PHOTOGRAPHERS THAT YOU RATE?
I’m influenced by myself self love is the best love.

WHO YOU INTO MUSICALLY?
all types of music honestly, old but goodies
from the 70s,80s. but I mainly listen to Rap.
mostly west coast rap and early 90’s music.

WHATS YOUR FAVORITE SONG AT THE MOMENT?
at this moment, I’d have to say “Rihanna-Rude Boy”
the video itself is awesome and inspiring to me,
photoshoot wise

YOUR FROM NEW YORK ONE OF THE FASHION CAPITALS OF THE WORLD, WHATS A TYPICAL DAYS DRESSCODE FOR YOU?
simple stuff. Skinny jeans, cardigans,graphic tee’s, low top sneakers or ankle flat boots,over sized handbags and gaudy accessories.

AND ALSO, WHAT BRANDS ARE YOU INTO?
I’m a simple girl, as of now, the brands i have mostly are Chip & Pepper,
Hudson, ALIFE, Supra, Gucci, and alot of other random vintage stuff.

OK, SO WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR 2010?
to grow as a photographer and to continue inspiring others,
as well as move to Los Angeles (mark my words)

AND WHAT DO YOU HOPE TO ACHIEVE IN THE FUTURE?
the same exact answer as the previous question basically…yet.
further more, I plan on one day eventually owning my own studio. I also plan on
investing more in my craft and business, I feel I will be more sucessful that way.
I think that anyone that invest in their craft the way they should, success is NOT far away.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT YOURSELF YOU WANNA SHARE WITH US?
Hi. My name is Neef. and I’m a Capricorn. (sarcasm) and I plan on improving in my craft,
getting better at what I do, and one day, being mentioned amongst the greats! Soon plan
on traveling all over, besides traveling outside the US to visit Jamaica,
I also plan on visiting the UK to produce some greateness
 
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO UP AND COMING PHOTOGRAPHERS?
do what you want, shoot what you want, whatever comes to mind, don’t question it
or think it’s too bold or too soft. what makes YOU, You is what is most important
and that’s how most photographers gain their signature styles. don’t worry about
what others say. Be able to take in constructive critisim, and be able
to know the difference between “critique” & “hate”. watch out for the snakes,
fakes,flakes and users. keep your heads up and remain humble!

AND FINALLLY ANY SHOUT OUTS..
my momma, nem, and God…
(no really?) my brother, the people that choose
Neef Fresh as their photographer, and anyone
that has given me the chance to work with them.
The great clothing designers i have collaborated with
and will continue to. anyone else that has taken part
in any of the art I have produced. Thank you.

Thanks for your great answers Neef!!!
