Jealouslys a bitch huh
I swear man Ian connor the fucking industry placement, he put so many mf out there and never takes credit for it
facts
fucking facts b
Facts
Proof that your "skill" doesn't matter, it's all about networking. People will buy anything
Yea the pictures he took weren't that special
i dont see you doing much why you hating..
@@lilpetty5375 who's hating? Reread my comment. Besides I teach photography and I use examples like this in my lessons. I tell my students that success can come in many ways; it isn't always dependent on skill or materials but personality and networking.
@@lilpetty5375 it's not hating if it's true his pictures are mid
Constant Constipation lol u won’t make it far if in a creative career if you think that’s “hating”
Oh nah they violating Ray in here😂😂
People saying "photographers finally getting appreciation" have no idea what photography is... These type of guys have always had a fast track to fame based on who they know, not skill..
The constant usage of flash is making me uncomfortable. Makes the shots look lazy. But hey he's putting in work. Cant hate that.
shut the fuck up
Lol
Don’t undermine his talent bih.
Yoo for real. This dude just sets his camera to automatic with the flash on and pushes the button. He has clout. No skill
damn that gucci hoodie on flex rotation lmaooo
it's so hideous lol
It's not even real. It's a Irman potato pirece
Haigan Hermès it’s a custom piece.
ray baby
I genuinely love how regular this dude sounds when he talks. So real. No pretentiousness
“Kicking my camera man off of my stages cause I don’t like how he snapping my angles”
This isn’t the guy he kicked off the stage
sia 654 LOL
kicking THE camera man of off my stages. headass
“My photos come naturally when I get the vibe of the room”
Nek minute
“Let’s get you laying down holding the ball”
🤦🏻♂️
Hypebeasts are the worst thing to happen to humanity
This shid is so *_FASHIONABLE_*
ain't lone that comment makes me happy
i whispered fashionable
gay*
+sclapione but he is mad fashionable no?
The shots arent even all that, he uses flash as much as he blinks
fax, goes to show that connects means more than talent. but whatever
That’s the steelo right now. Pure 90’s wannabe fuck boys. Once this trend is over he’ll be out of style
Who have you shot for?
Yeah but that what people want on their Instagram. Can't blame the guy tho, he might lose his job if he change his style.
The shots are a vibe. Not every photo has to be super beautiful with hyped up settings and a sun set. Always a hater up in here
him & gunner prolly the hardest in the film photography game rn, inspirational shit 🖤🤞🏼
don't sleep on wtfjay
ease
The ones who take pics of artist you mean ‘cause there’s way more that you’re not even aware of.
U MUST KNOW LOTS ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHRY
yawn as fuck, mediorce ass photographers hahahaha
Branching out and having connections are so important man... especially when you have a real passion to add on to that
Keep doing you brotha man, love seeing story's like this. Much love
Really happy to see people pursuing their passion. Much success to those of you that are and to those that haven’t but want to I wish you the best
Now he like one of Adins bestfriends
Being Travis Scott’s photographer Is a way bigger accomplishment
Now Adin is one of his bestfriends* Ray came up before Aidin
Ray is iconic in the game forreal! So many legendary photos from him. One day i’ll get a shoot with him 📈
For the longest time I thought he was using film but he shoots with a dslr.
What camera does he use
really?? i was certain thats film
He looks like a Jojo's Bizarre Adventure character 😳
I'm not one to hate on success but it seems like a lot of these young photographers are gaining there notoriety not through the quality of there photos but instead by shooting shots of famous rappers. shooting pictures with high grain that are slightly over exposed is visually appealing but I think they need to focus on taking a picture that says something rather than just taking one of Playboi Carti.
yung dash you not wrong but these pictures tell stories. Just like landscapes and such.
bro the pics r fire????? thats HOW he got to be travs main photographer
yung dash agreed
Technical proficiency is definitely important, but getting famous people to feel comfortable is also a highly valued skill. He's clearly good at doing that
Cornell Sanaa thats very true I guess its just hard to see what sets alot of them apart
really cool guy, humble and only speaks when he got something to say. respect that. keep inspiring.
If Andre The Giant and Slash had a kid it would be him.
I love this guys work it feels so authentic and different.
0:31 "I literally moved here from... um where I'm from"
Congratulations to this man for doing his own unique thing! God bless
lowkey been following the guy on IG before rlly blowin up. goes to show you can achieve anything! as long as you have the passion, the love, and knowing the right people. cheers.
That's crazzzzzy Sheck wes in this video, 11 months mobamba gets platinum. Humble come ups
Talented artist!! Love viewing his work
Things to learn from him:
Trust your process and more importantly just enjoy what you do. Have fun with it
Good piece by HypeBeast
ray is one of the most humble and positive ppl fr
Bro one time I was in a mosh pit with him at a trav show and he was so chill my friend and him had a whole conversation it’s crazy to see him now
This was flames, I've been following this guy forever knew he would blow up soon, he's got mad skills
He doesn't though
RAYNAILSSSSSS
Thanks hypebeast 🔌
StudioPlug dope
Ayyyyy I recognized that beat right away lmaoo
These hypebeast photographers saw Terry Richardson's work and ran with it using hard light
"im the quietest person in the room"
-RAYSCORRUPTEMIND
My boy Sheck Wes straight chillin
The love of art is definitely there, hopefully your making big bucks on those billboards get your money youngin cause they're defiantly getting there's
Keep up the good well paced work
litttt
Poudii it’s Lit
What else?
Poudii yo avi thicc
Salah ping?
Stay away from rapping.
This mans has the WR for most flip offs directed at him.
Keep doing your thing man 🔥 I see what you're after
Love you Ray! Big ups to you, Osiris, and Imran!
Travis: i‘m the Highest in the Room
Rayscorruptedmind: I‘m the quitest in the Room
Yo I've always wondered who took those fire pics and I ain't even into photography but those used to catch my eye
this is so dope man
Kev just in the background just chillin.
Aye for real...I've gotten tired of photography and kinda started to hate it. I felt uninspired and thought everything I did was trash. But you man, you opened my eyes again to see how much passion plays into it and what it means to just love going out to do a shoot. Imma start shooting again, thanks man.
KidBenji do you know what camera he uses to get that effect?
yonas habtemariam3 be original.
Michael Lance wdym?
yonas habtemariam3 rather than look for what he has, be inspired to look for something different and better by your own standard.
Michael Lance he didn't make the damn camera and he isn't the only person who takes photos with that effect bruh. So it's wrong for me to take pictures with a specific camera effect that has been made for the people just because one person is popular for using that effect with celebrities??
he looks like that evil ass villain from the incredibles
He made a good point about not just taking pictures to have a picture of celeb on their phone and to actually make them look good
We need more more behind the sence exposed all you guys are superstars man thanks for the insight
I thought travis kicked him, cuz he didnt like how he was snapping his angles
Aliaan Azam yeah lmfao
ahaha that's a travis scott's song guys
Nah lol
No that was a black photographer
bruh, in the song, he's referring to the guy that he kicked off his stage at Summer Jam
Thumb nail looks like Solanges album cover.
CRAZY!!! Never thought about who were the photographers behind the pics🤯🔥🔥🔥
Been following Ray for sometime and I can honestly say he do it for the love and only pushes positives vibes. I wish it was creatives in Florida that just want to work and actually build and not ride the ego of another motherfucka. If you shoot in Florida hit me up!
Ray, Imran, Slumpykev and Sheck wes... Inspiration gang
damn ian connor has made so many careers since 2015 :)
lil lil FACTS
only made carti career
RonXX That nigga put on so many people besides Carti like John Ross, Lil Boat, Bloodyosiris, D savage.
Made Kanye’s career so he’s the 🐐
gomlbondoc *STOP. I’M CRINGING SO HARD, PLEASE STOP*
This is soooo awesome
Been fw this dude, never thought I'd see em on this lol
wat
so much creativity under one roof. Ray, Imran, an Kev. So inspiring

Alexander Hill not really
Who's Imran, what he do
they aren't creative at all
love u ray

I've been following you on the gram for 3 years now
and you are my number 1 insparation

I admire ray 💯 hope to be a photographer as him no cap , i always watch this video for motivation 💯
“Your photos are the best of me, I’ve ever seen.”
he has so much energy on adins stream but not in this vid
That was 3 years ago bro ppl change
@@JoBandz no shit
So is this who Travis be kicking off stages? 😂
lol is it really
Nah😂
No
No. There’s a buzzfeed video and the person Travis was talking about talks about the backstory of it.
Really good video yall
It’s amazing how all the best photographers never went to school or learned it from a class they just do it
Proud of you bruh bruh!💪
LOVE YOU RAY KEEP DOIN YOUR THING
Dope 🔥🔥🔥
May be a silly question but what camera or editing do they use to get the pictures to look " shitty " quality
damn feels like he is so chill and humble lol
I love that he's so mellow & humble. Glad to hear things are working out for you (:
this guy is straight humble...i like that
This shit is inspirational, i needed to hear this
This is how I discovered Sheck Wes lmao
just wondering if anyone knows what camera he uses and whether he achieves that vintage grainy effect post production? TIA
Ayztv almost positive he shoots on film
“Things do happen” 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
.The American Dream.
I luv this kid’s mindset. Positive & authentic. All about synchronicity.
Why wont he say where hes from

Mystxry bruh idgaf😂
Smoky Donuts “small” lmaooo
Song name in the beginning ?
Rayyyyy babyyyyy
Ray baby
Man, I do photography and honestly this the dream bro. Shooting for artist I love and creative minds just making art would be mad cool.
Bryan0ffit not as easy as it looks man
@@ThoughtPumpkin0 it's super easy for us creatives but getting to that point is a huge obstacle
That is the most gayest Entourage ever
When someone says "you know im sayin"
Just understant their hustle is real
i guess all the crackheads ive heard saying that must be some real hustlers
Inspiring!!
