Stranger 48/100 - Shequita

Stranger 48/100 - Shequita

 

What brings you uptown? “Date night!”

 

Meet Shequita.

 

What advice would you give to your younger self? “To pay more attention and to get close to Jesus at an early age.”

 

Is that something you didn’t do when you were younger? “When I was younger, yeah, I was a little rebellious...”

 

What do you do in your free time? “I minister to people, encourage people to live better, to apply wisdom. I love encouraging the youth... I like to encourage them to live better and to walk in their identity and their truth.”

 

What would you do if you had a million dollars? “If I had a million dollars, I would invest it. I would invest it in my gift. I would invest it in something with purpose like to help the homeless, help somebody else.”

 

How would your friends describe you? “They would say that I’m outgoing, strong, fun person, family person.”

 

Technical Notes: This is my first night shot with my new LED panel, and I’m very happy with the way it turned out. I set it to a warm setting (3200K) and adjusted the color temperature in Lightroom to 2960K to make the colors cooler. In the future, I will add more light on the subject to help me bring down the ISO and to avoid burning in the bokeh so much.
