Banjo Adkins
Photographer, Artist, and Small Business Owner in Atlanta, Georgia
Welcome! I'm Banjo, and I'm so happy you found my site. Read on to learn a little about me and what I do.
I am a photographer, artist, fashion professional & the owner of YOU LOOK NICE Studios, an editorial & commercial photography studio with an emphasis on fashion & media. We're currently located in Columbia, SC & Atlanta, GA, and I am happy to travel for special projects.
When I'm not behind a lens, I'm often thrifting, enjoying friends & family (although I'm a bit of an introvert) or traveling. Barcelona is my favorite city, although Colombia is a close second. I would almost always rather be hot than cold, cats over dogs, libra sun/aquarius moon, and my favorite labels are currently Erdem & Maison Margiela. I also thoroughly enjoy the glam-kitsch designs from Attico.
I earned a master's in Media Arts from Morehead State University, attended a fashion merchandising exchange program at UCLA, and began my career as a college instructor at a small liberal arts college in Nashville, TN. I still love teaching, but I soon realized I was more passionate about art & fashion, specifically conceptual fashion photography. This specialization led me to create highly-expressive and stylized lookbooks for other creatives & entrepreneurs. Lookbooks are designed with fashion designers, labels, boutiques, and talent in mind, and typically used for branding, PR, or commercial campaigns.
I also exhibit work in galleries & publications. Please see our website for an Artist CV & complete list of exhibitions & published work.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you would like to discuss a collaborative project, or if you would like to schedule a complimentary phone consultation.
