If you watch my vlogs you’ve heard me mention it briefly — I’m on a mission to showcase cool people doing cool things.
Over the years, I’ve seen some amazing talent that, in my opinion, deserves more recognition.

My Motivation is a new series that I hope will motivate you to do whatever it is you want to achieve. Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing stories of photographers, artists, and athletes who are inspiring to me.

Now, let’s get to this guy…
Humza Deas!

Rooftopping with Humza Deas — Picture by Corentin Villemeur

An urban legend … a young and brilliant artist … an inspiring yet misunderstood photographer ..

I first met him via one of his partners in crime, Alex, during a late night expedition that took us from the Lower East Side to Brooklyn. I got home around 5 or 6 am with tons of amazing pics, filled with inspiration that would keep me going for a good 2 years.
As I got to know Humza more over time, I realized it’s that very same feeling that he transmits to anyone that dare to tag along on a photo mission with him.

Check out this first installment of My Motivation and let me know what you think in the comments!
