People might know me by the name 88 but for close people is Stanley.
What is your name?
I’m from Paris and I’m a Creative Director, stylist and photographer. I’m in the fashion world and entertainment.
What is your profession?
What is your favorite piece that you have created?
The best of my picture is a street one. This is the one with my lil cousin with the baseball glove, yes definetly this one. Because seeing the family shine makes me proud and I brought a different vibe to this picture, it looks like it was taken in the States.
What are your goals?
My goal is to make my family proud, being recognized for what I’m doing and not who I am.
What is your inspiration?
I’m inspired by the Hip hop culture especially the 70’s 90’s vibes.
70’s is for the style, their outfits were on point at the time, the flair pants, the music, the afro ye it’s a whole vibe whole attitude that inspires me in my vision.
90´s is for Rnb’s Prime and for the color of the clips, this dominant orange, I really love it.
What is the best advice you have been given?
The best advice that I have been given comes from one of my friend, he said don’t draw a line. He told me that because in France many people limit their art, they can’t imagine that people from the UK or US can appreciate what they do obviously.
It will be about the mindset of the photographer, I don’t feel that photographer are respected in France, this art ain’t recognized as it’s supposed to be. I think photographer themselves don’t know their value. So they must change their process and the industry will change about it.
If you could change anything about the industry, what would it be?
How does a day in your life look like?
I wake up early in the morning I check my daily schedule, do my sports, eat well, I dress up, then go. I cannot spend a minute without listening to music, so even when I’m in my taxi or my flight. I do listen music that allows me to stay focused. Then the shooting follows.
What is the coolest place/ hotspot/ event you have been to?
The coolest place Imma say LA for the history of the city,the best rappers are from there. The whole TDE, there is Snoop, Nipsey, The Game and more.
The food is also a reason why I love this city, my favorite place is Matsubisha. And my favorite fast food I’m gonna say “Popeye” the one in Slausson.
What is next for you?
A lot of things, stay tuned on instagram 88boulevard follow me then u will know.
