Meet Mekhi Smith of Detroit

Today we’d like to introduce you to Mekhi Smith

Hi Mekhi, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Well when I was young I was always making skits and videos in middle because I loved watching vine a lot. Eventually I wanted to use a real camera in high school so I got me a canon camera. Then I started to get obsessed with concert images and magazine covers so I decided to start getting into photography.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I wouldn’t necessarily say it was a smooth road. One of my main challenges was putting myself out there in person. When I started in high school, I just took pictures of my friends at school. It really started to kick off my senior year of school when I started going to events and networking with people.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
So I am a local photographer both for digital and film. I specialize in both most people know me from the film photography. I can honestly say that I’m mostly proud of the accomplishments I received this year. From doing concerts pictures and fashion show pictures.

I think what sets me apart from others is the style I use when taking pictures. Don’t get me there are quite a lot of film photographers in Detroit who are phenomenal, but I think using film style has more personality and depth.

If you had to, what characteristic of yours would you give the most credit to?
I feel consistency is best quality to have you’ll never who can come across your stuff.
