Shaun Asakura Interview
In your opinion, what is the most important part to being a photographer/videographer?
Having a camera.
JK, I would have to say visualization. You have to pretty much know how a shot is going to look before taking it. If you know how it's going to look before you even pick up the camera, you will waste less time and not only capture what you want but have a better chance of capturing what your client wants.
Describe a perfect Sunday.
Idk about a perfect Sunday, a typical one would be:
Coffee > Yoga > Brunch > Deep Clean the house
I'm kind of a basic bitch.
Also, I got to say it was a good day, if I didn't even have to use my AK.
Top 5 favorite Artists/Brands
This changes constantly but generally includes one of the following:
Kanye
I'm avoiding saying Drake.
What’s your all time favorite music video?
There's too many to say just one. Although over the years I have frequently come back to "John Redcorn" by Sir and "Until the quiet comes" by Flying Lotus. John Redcorn just happened to hit an emotional note with me when it was released. I'm not in that same emotional state any more but rewatching the video feels heavily nostalgic. Until the quiet comes is a bit of a masterpiece, if I can make one thing in life as good as that music video, I will feel accomplished.
