  The Vision of Ijumo Hayward

  ~ The question is not what do you look at, but what do you see.~ Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862) American author, naturalist, transcendentalist, and philosopher

  Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, all colors and hues, all genders, male; female and transgender. It is my mission to highlight these expressions of beauty with the utmost respect and to showcase them with my own unique vision. The CREATOR has blessed each of us with a unique beauty, attitude, and individual experiences that make us one of a kind. As a photographer, it is my duty to use my CREATOR given talent to utilize the two elements that used to start the Universe; Light and Darkness to create art.

  I spent years in front of the camera and on the runway as a model before picking up a camera professionally and started to create stunning images myself. I took my years of experience and started working with other models, helping them to build and develop strong portfolios. While following the styles of celebrity photographers such as Greg Gorman, Herb Ritts and many others, I have forged ahead and started shooting with my own unique eye for form and line, light and shadow.
