Ukuqhawula ukusuka e-Fort Lauderdale, eFlorida, i-Aundre Larrow unomfanekiso-mfanekiso oneminyaka engama-24 ubudala waseBrooklyn ogxile kwi-Instagram account yakhe, @aundre. Ukususela kwiifoto zokuhamba kwiitrakra zendlela zesitalato, i-Aundre ithatha i-pulse ye-New York yokudala. Ukugijima kunye nabasebenzi babalobi abanetalente kunye nabafotoli beefoto ngokufanayo, i-Aundre's Instagram feed yinto nje yinto efunyanwa ngayo lo mboniso.
Ngaba uye wakha wazibuza ukuba yintoni umsebenzi onjengomfanekiso wezithombe ozimele? Ngaba unomdla wokufunda okungakumbi malunga nantoni na ongayifumanayo kunye neengcebiso kumacandelo ezentlalo? U-Aundre ukhankanya oku nakwengeziwe: ukusuka kwinkqubo yakhe yokudala ukuya kwindlela azenzele ngayo igama lakhe kwi-media epicenter yesizwe esichukumisayo, funda ngezantsi ukuze ufunde kabanzi malunga nobomi buka-Aundre njengomfanekiso wezithombe ezizimeleyo eNew York City.
Yintoni ephefumlelweyo ukuba ube ngumfoto wezithombe?
Xa ndandisesikolweni esiphakeme, ndandidla ukuxhoma kunye nomhlobo wam omhle kunye nalo mculi onetalente, uJeff Gardner, emva kwesikolo. Wayeya kummema aze asebenze kumculo ohlukeneyo, kwaye wayeya kudlala xa esebenza kwindlela yokuyila. Ndandibukhwele kakhulu ukuba wayenguye uguqulelo phakathi kwefomu nganye yobugcisa, kodwa ndikhathazekile ukuba andinakuzibonakalisa ngendalo ngokuklanywa (ngokuba i-photoshop yayingethuba ngexesha) kunye nomculo (ndayeka isiginci, ikhibhodi kunye ne-saxophone ebuntwaneni bonke ).
Ngoko ndahlala kwiifoto. Utitshala wam yeshashalazi (uMnu. Tempest) wandinike iMololta Srt-101 ngenxa yokuzalwa kwam 16. Yonke inhlobo yaphuma apho.
Yintoni ubomi kunye nomsebenzi weefotoli ozimele ozibandakanyayo?
Uninzi lwamaxhala! Ndixhalaba kakhulu ngokungahambisani nezinto abafuna ukuzenzayo, okanye xa ndiwenza amahlumela okuhlela i-bevelcode, ndingayifaki into ebalulekileyo yesihloko.
Kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo kufana nemisebenzi emininzi, ngeeyure ezichazwe ngokucacileyo kwaye zihlawule (ezo ziza kukuthatha isigqibo.)
Ziziphi iimbopheleleko zemihla ngemihla yokuzifotela kwezithuthi?
Umhla wam nosuku luzolile ngenxa yokuba ndisebenza umsebenzi we-10-6, kodwa ngokuqhelekileyo ndifikelela kwisibhengezo nge-Instagram imiyalezo ngqo Ixesha elithile ndifumana isincomo esivela kumntu ukuba ndihlole, okanye bafikelele kum. Sixoxa malunga nendlela esinokusebenzisana ngayo kwaye ndiqale ukufumana ibhola iguqa.
Usuku nosuku, malunga nokusebenza kwintlalontle ukwenzela ukuba abantu babone umsebenzi wakho: umsebenzi wokuhlela owamtshiyayo, ukuthumela ubungqina, ukwenza ukuhlaziywa nokuchitha ixesha ufunda umsebenzi wabanye ukuze ubone oko kuphumelele.
Nguwuphi umzekelo wesabelo esasifumene esasifumene?
Ngaphambi kokuba ndiqalise ukusebenza ngexesha elipheleleyo kwi-Walker neNkampani, ndandidla ukudubula ngokuzenzekelayo kwi-website yayo ye-edit bevelcode.com. Ndifumana isabelo sokudubula uLance Fresh (@lancefresh), i-style ye-NBA enkulu, ngezaziso ezingaphantsi kweenyanga ezimbini.
Ndandidumala kakhulu. Ndiyathanda i-NBA kwaye ndibone uLance kumabonwakude ngamaxesha amaninzi. Ngoko ndazibuza: ndingamthabatha phi? Ngoko ndaphanda, ndayifaka, ndenza ibhodi yeemeko kwaye ndahamba ngendlela eya eSoho Ndandifuna ukumthabatha. Lo wayeyindoda endiyithandayo, kwaye kwacetyiswa ukuba imvula ngaloo mini.
Ndandisoloko ndilahlekelwa ngamabhuleki am ngaphambili. Kodwa ke imvula yamisa, umhlaba wawunzima, kodwa wenziwa. T yakhe ngumveliso wokugqibela.
Iyintoni le nkqubo? Ingaba ngumzamo wokusebenzisana phakathi kwakho kunye nomtshini?
Kubaluleke kakhulu. Ngokuqhelekileyo ndicela ibhodi yeemeko ezivela kubo, eziquka iifoto kunye nezithombe ezivela kwezinye iindawo. Ukuba i-brand yi-NYC isekelwe, ndiyabakhuthaza ukuba bafike xa ndidubula ukuze bakwazi ukujonga ngqo kwaye bafumane indlela yokuqala yendlela inkqubo ehamba ngayo. Ukulindela okungcono kunokulawulwa, umbane ogqityiweyo ngowona mveliso, ngombono wam.
Yintoni eyenza umgca wakho womsebenzi uhlukile kwenye na?
Hmm, ndiza kuthetha ukuba ekubeni wonke umntu enekhamera ngendlela yefowuni yabo, bacinga ukuba banokwenza umsebenzi wakho. Kodwa ukuvela kwe-Instagram kukunika inhlonipho ehloniphekileyo: njengokuba ifikeleleka kodwa inkulu, ihloniphekile kakhulu, eyenza ingqiqo, ngenxa yokuba ukufotowa akubonakali njengobungcali obuphezulu.

Ndiza kuzama ukubamba ubunqweno bomntu kwaye ndiwufake. Lelo lilungelo elihle kunye nodumo.
Kutheni kubalulekile ukuba uphumele iifoto?
Undinyanzela ukuba ndibekwe phantsi kwam. Ndikhangele phambili ubuso babantu, indlela elula ngayo kwaye iphendule kwintlango kunye nehlabathi elijikelezile. Kuyoyikeka. Kwaye ngaphandle kwayo, mhlawumbi ndizakukhangela ixesha elininzi.
Udibanisa njani imidiya yoluntu kunye neefoto?
Asoloko ehluke kakhulu. Amanye amaxesha abo. Umzabalazo wam obalulekileyo kunye nawo ngamanye amaxesha umfanekiso ungasalisa kodwa awuyi kuhlawulela kakuhle nabaphulaphuli be-intanethi. Kungaba ngcono kwigalari okanye into enye ngaphandle kweyesibini enye xa uhamba.
Ndizama ukubonisana nabangontanga bam xa ndifumana iingxoxo zangaphakathi, kwaye ndizama ukusebenzisa iziteshi ezahlukeneyo ukubonisa indawo ehlukeneyo yomsebenzi wam. Ndisebenzisa i-Tumblr ukwenza umsebenzi wefomu omde, i-Instagram ye "bangers" (ndiyayithandana naloo nto) kunye ne-Facebook ukuze iifayile zodwa (ngaloo ndlela abantu abanenkathalo malunga naloo mntu bayakwazi ukuzibona nokubathanda.)
Ngaba iindaba zoluntu zibalulekile kuwe njengomfoto wezithombe? Ngaba ikuvumela ukuba wabelane ngomsebenzi wakho kubantu abaninzi?
Kubaluleke kakhulu kum. Ivumela umsebenzi wam ukuba ube nempembelelo yesistim. Imivalo yeendaba zoluntu ivumela umsebenzi wam ukuba uhambe phambi kwamehlo abantu ngaphaya kohlobo lwam kunye nabantu endikwazi ukukuthinta. Yenza ukwabelana lula kunye nokufotowa okuncinci malunga nawe nomsebenzi wakho kunye nendlela ubeka ngayo ibali lehlabathi.

Ndithwala isikhumba seBlackxton ONA esikhwameni.
Yintoni oyithandayo kwikhamera yekhamera, kwaye inokukunceda njani kwinkqubo yakho yokudala?
Mhlawumbi yam ikhamera yefowuni. Ingenza ndidubule amaqela ngaphandle kokuhlasela amehlo abantu ngefowuni.
Iyiphi inqaku lakho elilodwa leengcebiso kumntu ofuna ukuba ngu-photographer?
Thatha ixesha lakho lokudubula-ungazitholi. Thetha kwisifundo sakho ngexeshana. Thatha umzuzu kwaye ujonge oko utshitshileyo, ngoko jonga kwisifundo sakho uze ubone ukuba kukho na iinkcukacha ozifumanayo umdla kodwa ungakhange uhambise, uze uzikhethele.
Yiyiphi ikhamera yekhamera oyikhethayo ukudubula kunye nayo? Naluphi na uhlobo oluthile olukhethayo?

Ngaba unokunika umboniso omfutshane wenkqubo yakho yokudala kunye nokucacisa indlela uhlela ngayo iifoto zakho?
Inyaniso, ihluke ngokwenene ngokudubula. Into yokuqala endiyifunayo yimivulo. Ndifuna ukuba abamnyama bam. Ndidlala kunye nabo. Ndiye ndizibuza ngokwenene indlela endizama ukuyifumana ngayo, khangela ukuba ngaba kufezekiswe, uze ubone indlela endinokuyibonisa ngayo kwimibala yebala ngokusebenzisa imibala.
Akusoloko iluhlu lweengcamango, kodwa yinto enjalo.
Uhambo ludlala njani kumsebenzi wakho nobomi?
Inceda kakhulu. Umhlobo wam usandul 'utsho nje ukuba xa ekhupha e-NYC ngoku, unokubuya ngesithombe esinye esihle ngasinye.
Ucinga ukuba ifoto ithinta njani imbono yehlabathi yendawo?
Kubi kwaye kulungile. Siphila kwilizwe leFOMO (ukwesaba ukulahleka). Siyakuzonda ukulahleka. Ngoko siyabonga ukufotshwa kweefoto ezixutywe kunye neendaba zentlalo - asinayo. Singawa thandana neendawo esingazange sibe nazo, nabantu esingazange sibone kunye nokutya esingazange sikudle. Yenza loo ndawo imilingo kwaye imeko yethu yangoku iphantsi.
Ngaba uziva unomsebenzi wokuba wabelane ngezihlandlo ezibangela iingxoxo ezicingayo? Ukuba kunjalo, ukhetha njani izifundo zakho?
Hayi, kungekhona. Ndiyidonsa into endiyithandayo kwaye ngaloo nto inzima inzima iphuma kuyo. Siyinkimbinkimbi yabantu: uvuyo luya kuba luvuyo kuba intlungu ivele ngaphambi kwayo. Ndikhetha abantu ngokusekelwe kwindlela ababukeka ngayo kunye nokukhanya. Ezinye izicwangciso zifuna umntu ukuba abukeke ngokugqithiseleyo, amanye akwenzi. Andizi ngokwenene ndize ndimbone umntu kunye nendalo (yintoni isizathu sokubaluleka kubaluleke kakhulu)
Ngaba ufumana kunzima ukuqhawula ngenxa yendima yakho? Ngaba kunzima ukudlula indawo enhle kwaye ungayifaki?
Ndiyinyaniso ndicinga ukuba inkulu kakhulu into. Ezinye izinto azidingeki ukuba zifotwe. Ezinye izinto azikwazi kuba kuba zihamba ngokukhawuleza. Abanye ngenxa yokuba uya kubabona kwakhona. Abanye ngenxa yokuba ukhohliwe ikhamera yakho kunye nabanye ngenxa yokuba ungazivumi nje.
Ndizama ukuzinika indawo ukuze ndiphile kwaye ndingakhathazeki ngokubanjwa rhoqo.
Naziphi iindawo ezizithandayo kwihlabathi?
Ukunyaniseka, yonke into iyavuya. Xa ndiyinkwenkwe, ndaqokelela iimali zelizwe.
Ziziphi izinto ozilibaziyo ngaphandle kweefoto?
Basketball! Ukudlala i-frisbee. Biking kunye nokutya.
Uya kuphi ukuya kutsho?
