PHOTOGRAPHER INTERVIEW | DAVID URBANKE | 16 YEAR OLD PHOTOGRAPHER




    Here I am presenting you, David Urbanke (pictured above). He is just 16 years old but his talents have accelerated beyond, as you can see in his photography. Born and raised in New Jersey, but now living in a small town of Berkeley Heights, 45 minutes away from New York, where he usually shoots. I'd say he puts quite the effort, especially while he is still attending high school!

    Like many others, he started photographing and uploading to Flickr and now he shoots the freshest models from some of the top agencies such as Ford, Major, Elite, DNA and Wilhelmina, just to name a handful. As you can see below he also shot Australia's very own Amanda Ware winner of the current season (Cycle 6) of Australia's Next Top Model. He also currently shot Danica Magpantay & Zuzanna Bronczyk from Ford recent Supermodel Of The World contest.

    But that's not it! He and friend Shirley Yu (also photographer) started his own magazine. You heard it! The creativity just keeps on going!
    His magazine Youth & Freedom will launch in March and already has my personal favourite model, Luke Worrall on it. Check it the site out to keep updated!

    I have to say, it's so great to see such young talent and I believe it is people like this, that motivate and show us, we are all capable of doing great things at any age as long as you're passionate enough about it! Definitely one to watch! It was however quite disappointing and weird to hear that it seems he has some haters of him and his work. Support not put down others!

    To read more on how he started photography to photographing the next faces of tomorrow's fashion and how he juggles between photography work and high school, read the interview below.
