About DeMarcus Allen<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
\n

I’m from Virginia in the US (city of Norfolk), and I left when I was 17 to play college football at the University of Kentucky. After that, I went to play professionally in Chicago, but I got hurt. After trying for a few other teams, I kept having the same problem of hurting my leg, so I decided to stop. At the same time, I started to get into modeling, with the “push” from friend and Paris photographer Ernest Collins.<\/p>\n

Eventually, I decided to move to Paris in 2009 to try to find an agency and go from there. However, when I got here, I was so stressed and nervous that I had terrible acne, so could not do any photos. I took a break from modeling and just hung around Ernest’s photo shoots in Paris. I had bought a D-SLR before leaving the US, so I could take photos and send to my family. So I started to send them photos all the time of landscape and architecture stuff, and eventually got sick of e-mail, so I made a website (easier for them to access). With that, I started to get bored with landscape photos, and so I wanted to shoot models.<\/p>\n

But all of them, of course, told me “no”, as I didn’t have a book. I eventually did a shoot with my girlfriend, who is French, and received not-so-bad reviews from Ernest and other photographers\/models I knew in Paris. I had been helping as his assistant since moving to Paris, and so when I started shooting models, I did less assisting and more of my own shooting. One short year later, after starting photography with models (and 1 year and a half using a camera), here I am\u00a0\":)\"\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I’m currently wanting to do more magazines to be able to show more of my work, which, to me, is a mix of American and French photography. I’ve worked with a lot of agencies in France, New York & London, including Next, Marilyn, Elite, City, VIP, Premier, MC2 & Trump. Now I’m at the point of trying to expand to do more magazines in both the US & France, and also other places.<\/p>\n

For “style”, it’s really hard I guess to describe my “style”. I’ve shot men, but I prefer women. I’ve always loved elegance in a woman and sexiness, but without being trashy. Also, you can see through a lot of my photos that I did landscape photography before, as I rarely shoot in studio. I think the surroundings are equally important for the mood, and while I don’t “dislike” studio shooting, I just find that there’s not as much of a mood or emotion to bring to the table.<\/p>\n

I’m not too too big on “posing” the models, as I like them to be themselves a bit in front of the camera so it doesn’t look too “fake” I guess<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
