As we enter the new year, one question looms large for all of us: What will this year bring? What kind of photography will you create? What moments will you capture, relationships will you nurture, or adventures will you embark on? We fill our calendars with plans, projects, and trips, but as photographers, one truth remains constant: our choices shape everything.
The choice to take the trip—or not. The choice to connect with others—or stay distant. The choice to show empathy—or turn away. The choice to press the shutter—or let the moment pass. The choice to make a difference in your community—or remain on the sidelines. Every moment is defined by the decisions we make.
Demondre, shares the thoughtful choices he makes each day as a photographer—deciding which shot to take, which streets to explore, what time of day to head out, which photographic tool to bring. These seemingly small decisions can sometimes feel overwhelming, but they are the building blocks of his craft. We hope Dre’s story and this film inspire you to embrace your own choices this year. To not only capture moments but to make a difference in your community and tell your unique story through photography.
Here’s to 2025 and the stories we’ll create together.
Take the Picture, Tell Your Time.
