Today we’d like to introduce you to Antwon Maxwell. Them and their team share their story with us below:
Antwon Maxwell’s journey into photography began while traveling throughout Asia on a work assignment. Passionate about, well, “everything,” Antwon utilized his drive to immerse himself in learning everything he could about photography. Shortly after beginning his photography journey, his skills advanced to the point that seasoned photographers were asking him for advice on lighting and retouching. During his time in South Korea, Antwon further honed his skills in posing, lighting, and retouching from having limited models, makeup artists, and wardrobe availability.
In 2015, Antwon moved back to the United States with a full waiting list of clientele. Since his return, Antwon has shot several celebrities and his photographs have been featured in numerous magazines, including Kontrol Magazine; Hype Hair Magazine, and Ellement Magazine. Antwon is known for his clean, sophisticated, and luxurious images accompanied by high-end retouching. His work has amassed him huge followings on both Instagram (@antwonmaxwellphotography) and YouTube (Antwon Maxwell Photography).
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle-free, but so far would you say the journey has been a fairly smooth road?
Photography started off rough when I lived in South Korea. Finding good a team was hard, finding good models were hard. So, I had to prefect my craft by using my wife as my testing subject.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I am a beauty, fashion, celebrity photographer. I’m known for my lighting and my photos looking “unretouched”. I’m most proud of my attention to detail when it comes to my lighting technique. I feel that my lighting and my personality on set separates me from others.
We’d love to hear about any fond memories you have from when you were growing up?
My favorite childhood memory was having pizza night every other Friday with my family.
