Great interview and awesome to see women of color on Adorama.
Brilliant work! Terrific photographer!Â
She is definitely one of my favorite photographers. Her work is so inspiring!Â
INSPIRED!
Canon 30D for this? BS!
you tubing yes!!!
Awesome!
Proof that your equipment really does not matter… She's awesome.
He did come across as if he didn't want to be there. At the end when he said, "It's been a blast," it sounded very insincere. I did like the person he interviewed though in this one.
Wow she's really good for only being in for 3 years!
I love this channel!.. now I would like to buy a DLSR and get the learning started!! I would love to have a Cannon since she uses that camera, could you please give me some tips on what camera specs I should look for when buying one that is not too basic nor a 'very beginner' kit while having a "reasonable new comer" budget =)… THANKS a lot!!!..
A lot of Youtubing! Glad to see someone does the same thing I do!
I like how Mark Wallace is uninterested completely. He diffidently doesn't wanna be doing this. He needs to be replace, he needs to go away. Along with the over priced Adorama company.

I would love to have you in my fashion photography workshops as a success story
please contact me
Amazing shoot
@l31007 I appreciate the comment. Thank you so much.
@Thornfox I was about to say the same thing, so I'm sure there's plenty out there thinking likewise. It's very refreshing to see such a talented young black woman. Many women get into photography but get stuck when elements start to get too technical. Thank you Mark and Laretta for sharing this.
Big props to Laretta and her team of professionals who give their all in creating such wonderful images. It's not every photographer who would reveal their secret to the world. I understand totally what she means when she talks about 75% of the creativity happening during the shoot. It just goes to show that her creativity comes from within and a little added help from the support team. She gets a thumbs up from me. Kelvinbushan – Atlanta Photographer
An amazing young photographer~ self-tought and look at her achievements in just 3 yrs~ WOW !!!
did say shit at 7:20
@Goodbadbritish -as an assistant to a celeb photog I can vouch for that! I work really hard and of course it is rare that people stop and thank us for helping. I mean, it's cool, but you are soooo right, though.
@MiZZMaRaZ sounds like alot of work :D, i find that photographers can never give enough credit to their crews as they wont take any good photos, or capture their ideas wthout the help of a team.
she's a good inspiration
Thanks for giving us an open and honest insight to how a pro photographer works. Its interesting to see that she creates her own filters. I didn't know that could be done.
Great to see someone making a living as a photographer without a Canon 1DS!
Great work!
I hate to bring race into things, but it's nice to see a black woman succeeding in fashion photography. The fashion world seems to be dominated by middle-aged white men!
Great Laretta – nice you share 🙂
Great job Laretta!
That's really phenomenal.
Absolutely Awesome! Girl you Rock! I love you!! You are the best! Your work is awesome!!
2 day lighting I will do!
I will study lighting like never before!
Without question the best video so far. LOVE LOVE LOVE this video! I am going to go buy something for Adorama, just out of principle. GREAT. Thanks!
Good stuff. An interview with Benjamin Kanarek would be nice.
