Who is Demetri?

I go by many names that start with a “D”, but Demetri will do. I am a Miami raised avid gamer, and cosplay photographer who happen to dwell more into street photography. At most, I shoot analogue with my favorite film Kodak T-Max.

I intend to have a visionary of creating what is real and what is directly in front of me. Sometimes my process can be at the spur of a moment if I don’t think about the technical aspects of framing. Whatever the scenery is, I find the beauty in a cluttered neighborhood or a full function. I navigate through a community where people of color such as myself are combating against being underrepresented and embracing belonging in a community. As I take on the role of being a photographer, I noticed that it is essential to document, archive, and observe these scenes.
