He doesn’t even care that it was the Astroworld cover he was just geeking about the photographer haha
you probably dont give a damn but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Lee Hamza instablaster =)
The kid is extremely well connected. Its who you know!
VIDD THE DESIGNER yup. Its all about connections
Said every business ever😂but fax
Nope, it's the portfolio u have and how u work that portfolio then who u want to know will find u not you looking for them.
Exactly this like the 3rd guy I've seen get famous and their photos aren't anything special. And it's always some.who shoots film only.
Nah. He clearly isn't mentioning how he used his privilege... Affording, gear and travel etc is a major factor...Knowing people is not enough.. You have to show up...
Speaks from the heart, not ego.
Glad a good one made it in the industry.
Bruhhhh. Y'all are SALTY AF lmao. Y'all big mad someone had the right combo of skill luck timing and connects.
Exactly
He's like "my friend at Nike" who is actually Phil Knight lol
This kid grew up in a rich and popular place in a good school so he knows a lot of succesfull people, no surprise he also made it....
papa mito i grew up “rich” and in a nice school and i don’t have connections like him lol don’t hate
@@TrollProductionsMC im from nyc, im from the hood but i been in the art fashion scene, i found my ass fucling some super rich fampus designer chick in a loft type shit. Trusr that wpuld never happened outside nyc type shit
@@diegolechuga3879 that has everything to do with you, you have to be social and likeable to make connections to begin with, but that's only the beginning but for a person like me I have no one important where I live like no one.
Diego Lechuga then you’re dumb
I love shit like this, this is the real authentic side of the industry.
Opportunities come from positioning more often than skill. BE THERE.
‘hes more religous, smarter now’
Then shows picture of Sheck carrying an mp5 HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
Mp7
"my friends at nike", "my friends at vfiles" basically this dude was always deep in the game
Tell me why he looks like a younger Mark Zuckerburg who rebelled
Prepared Survival fr
Nah
Because
young photographer from Queens, I'm convinced this guy is Spider-Man
I always come back to this video because I find this guy really genuine and inspiring. I like how he has those 3 rules but also how he didn’t jump into commercial work before establishing himself artistically. A lot of people would take their chances for the money not really thinking about anything else
this guy has got the "chosen one" life
I love this. One of the most real stories of
How it works, he’s just a normal guy and is just as surprised that he got to shoot and what he did- if you’re as humble and hungry as this guy it’s well deserved 👏🏻👏🏻
He is so sincere he has a genuine good heart you can feel it thru the screen God bless his path 🙏😇
Love how he had his stuff together and was ready to go for every opportunity. Yes it may be who you know who will get you the connections, but really it's the content you create that makes people seek you out. Great job Cian.
Key words: “I knew a lot of ppl at Nike” get out there and start shaking hands and making ppl remember you
Shoutout Cian. Seems like a cool dude who always put his friends first. And one of them happened to get famous. Sometimes you get lucky! Wish they talked a little bit about his cameras choice etc etc. Enjoyed the vid!
what a legend! very inspiring!
complex you rule!
thanks for sharing this great content with us!
really enjoyed watching this
this dude is one of the most artistically conscious and smart guys I've seen in the trap world . I hope he'll get even bigger
Cian is a true artist. Phenomenal video, Complex!!
this video is fire, so what if he knew someone that was set to be famous and that’s how he blew up, he cares about his aesthetic and art that’s crazily commendable
@WifisBirth It's youtube, you'll read a lot of dumb comments.
i vaguely remember being really young just sitting at my aunts house, i was super bored because for any seven year old child sitting on a couch with no cable is really boring, but from a really young age i had always been into art and pictures. i remember seeing one of david lachapelles portrait books and just being so fascinated and at a young age too. not many seven year olds are into that kind of stuff lol but i was. i have an uncle that recently passed away, he knew david for a really long time which their friendship didnt end very well. in that time i loved and still love his artwork to today. im now 15 and i do photography myself, i hope to pursue this as a career. i really love doing it and just having something to hold, something that reminds me of my uncle on a daily basis. some people may think of photography as a "hobby" or a "fad" but i truly believe that if you can find something, take a picture of it, and make it into art my dear friends, thats a passion.
Yooo what’s you’re IG you seem chill asf and plus I’m getting into photography do you use the adobes for editing ?
Angelxlxyv Txxlyys thank you so much! my ig is @luvlty and my photography ig is @visu4lss and i use vsco on my phone to edit!
This guy took a picture of me in Paris almost a year ago. Had no clue who he was until now.
"I know a lot of people who work for Nike. SO one of my friends at Nike asked me if I wanted to do a photo project for them"
*Yep. Casually. As you do.*
Did he hurt u ? 😢🤣
yung bryam ^^ although he has a point but tbh thats how luck works
You don't even know how easy that is, if you are in retail for nike and do anything creative they will open up opportunities if you are good. Trust me its easy af
Met this guy a few times, he’s pretty cool.
mad inspirational, bless up
He has of friends who really blessed him with opportunities...
Really good video him n sheck are very talented n seem like good friends
Met him couple weeks ago at an Asspizza meet up and gave him one of my shirts I painted. Pretty genuine and cool person!
Waits till 5 mins in to say oh yea I’m friends Sheck Wes
he literally seem and sounds like the nicest person!! get what you deserve
Heads up you man!!! Manifesting your greatness!!!
Once u believe in yourself, push yourself and u have a lot of determination in chasing your dreams, then there is nowhere u can't be..
he did none of that, hes only where he is because hes mates with fucking PHIL KNIGHT.
Jaden bourne do you think these people would continue fucking with him if he didn’t have some talent? It’s obvious people like him and his work not the fact that he’s friends with an old guy...
Great photographer and interview! Respect
Speaking as a rapper and concert photographer, not to hate but he just has good connections. Inhave connections with soundcloud rappers but whoever connects with the newest up and coming is going to make it.
cool story, great edit 👌🏻
inspirational
Y’all mad because he knows how to network with people wtf 😂😂
how can you hate on someone for having connections? you have to work to grow your network. that is hard work in itself.
his connection with those people is crazy
Most underrated album of 2018 for sure
Motivation thank you
For someone so young, to have some pretty great projects and professional moments already, he comes across very modest and humble. Props for all that dude, I hope you go far.
That’s dope never peeped him on the album cover that’s wowzres
Stories like these is why I moved to New York to pursue music 🙏🏼
How’s that going for you lol
oh no
@Afrobeats Daily lol no I don’t
Love the Daniel Johnston frog. Keep it up!
Big ups to this guy!
Dope story!
Inspiring
Damn a good combo of connections and skill!
INSPIRING ✨✨✨✨
He might be the chillest dude ever.
its all about timing. these guys just are there in the right time and place. but you'll see photographers very soon who come from the bottom up busting their ass.
Ayeee
That's all it is at the end of the day....timing is part of the foundation for everything
Check us out at @oooweetv on IG. Both me and my colleague started from the bottom and are still busting our asses to make it.
Facts

I mean congratulations to this man everything fell in-line for him it was just his time....but i want to really see someone come from the bottom bottom who knows nobody big and really busted their ass
demetri sheffield agreed lol very story he starts with oh my friend at ... it’s cool dude has bare connects that helped him out but I wana see some person struggle and really make it from bottom would be way more of an interesting story
me af
Samir Farah it’s be more personal with the everyday artists that started from that same place you know someone that’s relatable
me
That's what happens when you're in a circle of high achievers
inspiring
Dope kid honestly
It’s who you know. It really really helps
nice and interesting story man..
This isn’t Ray. We want Ray. Big ups to this dude though

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Shoutout to the man Austin 🍕💯
Wow he’s great, the youth can use more artists with integrity and passion like his
Yes crazy connections and luck involved in his story, but he even stepped down from some of those opportunities to make sure his work was how he liked it to be, that’s strong
This did has so much connections
Dope af

DAMN HE LUCKY AS HELL BRAH
His green eyes go hard
Good vid

BIG CIAN HAAANNNNNNN

DON'T FUCK WITH SHECK WES WE GON BREAK A KI' DOWN!!!!
"And just like... POUNDS of Coco" HAHA Thats what I understand.
sweet cian
Hey can anyone tell me where he got the Daniel Johnston Sculpture???
Complex u shegged him should habe put his name so other artists can reaxh out to him coz hes talented
His photos aren't bad. But they're fine at best. Connections matter more than product, this is the best proof I've seen so far, but yo, I'm glad for him
What camera is he using?
Crazy how you got on the cover 😅
When things are meant to be
CIANNNNNNNN
What’s the best that comes in at 2:57
hes wearing asspiza merch?🔥
Him and asspizza have been boys for years lol
3 years later and I figured out who that guy is lol
Anyone got a link/name for the beat at 4:02 & 5:23 etc?
Jessica
I need friends like this guy wtf haha
He's only where he is today because of the people he knew. People are right when they say its more about who you know than what you know in life to be successful.
Dude at 4:40 looked a lot like the Fuck Supreme guy at first glance 😂
He looks like what would happen if Mark Zuckerberg had an angsty youth stage in the 90's
