Isaiah Baskins is a student photographer based in New York City. Isaiah fumbled his way into a passion for photography at a young age, documenting family vacations on a disposable camera. Upon realizing his love for photography, Baskins invested in a 35mm pentax camera to document his "skate board shenanigans" (as he put in an interview last week). Later this interest developed and Baskins found a love in digital photography, where his current work resides in documenting his still growing world. He draws inspiration from his surroundings and notably, another young photographer he met in New Mexico. You can follow their interactions on instagram under #goodmorningmrbaskins and #goodmorningfofanyan. The pair interact in a simple, but clearly respectful manner. His future holds many promising opportunities, primarily publishing an underground magazine based off of his high school experience.
I find Baskins' work to be a refreshing look at youthful interaction. As someone who finished high school and left with a grudge, Baskins' work is an amazing take on how the often overlooked time of growth can have such a great effect on personal development. His documentary style has an artistic quality that reflects the turmoil and the joys of youth. I look forward to hearing from, and seeing Mr. Baskins' work soon.
