admin How did you discover PhotoVogue? From the platform to the festival, how did your collaboration with Vogue Italia developed so far?
Kennedi Carter: I discovered PhotoVogue when I was in college, I began uploading my images then, it almost felt like an online portfolio review. I was able to gauge the trajectory of my work as well and if I was moving in the right direction. I met an editor Francesca ❤️ at a portfolio review soon after that, my work has been in two of the festivals. PhotoVogue has definitely helped me in my career as I did not have to be too ‘fashion’ or too fine art, I could present and showcase work as is.
How did you approach the British Vogue’s cover with Beyoncé? Could you please tell us more about this experience? What did it mean to you?
Kennedi Carter: That cover was my first editorial and cover shoot – so I was definitely trying to figure out what I was doing. But that shoot gave me so much insight on how to build an idea. I worked with folks that I stay in contact with to this day and I will always be appreciative for the opportunity. A single shoot shifted the trajectory of my career. As a Southern based artist I think it was necessary to pop up on the scene with a bang.
What are your hopes for the future? What are you currently working on?
Kennedi Carter: I hope to publish a book in the near future, I hope to be the best mother & community member I can be, and I hope that my creativity continues to flow as I continue making photos. I am currently working on a book and a few other personal projects that I hope to share in the near future!
