DPI first-year Denise Hewitt was selected as a feature photographer and “All-Star" for CONVERSE. “Due to COVID, I experimented a lot with self-portraiture, using self-timers and countdowns to help frame myself. I was given the creative license and freedom to take this project however I saw it creatively, along with some desired deliverables (cropping, wearing fall attire, shoes fully in frame, etc). From deliberately wearing braids down to the clothes I wore, each part was deliberate.”
Congratulations Denise! Read more
