We talked with Denise Hewitt, 17, Kaylee Ramirez, 19, and Genesis Gil, 21, who photographed WNBA stars about what this project means to them, what it was like on set, and their advice for fellow young artists
), shared what this program and project means to them, what it was like on set, and their advice for fellow young artists.MTV News: Why are education programs important for young artists like yourself?I think it’s important, especially in Red Hook because there’s a lack of opportunities and expertise when it comes to getting into the industry at all.
MTV News: What does it mean to you to be involved in this project and shooting female athletes at the top of their game?As a woman and a woman of color, to be a part of something so huge for the WNBA athletes is such a great honor. And I feel that it’s something that you rarely see. A lot of times WNBA athletes are photographed in a way that’s just basketball, basketball, basketball.
My whole thing is to create images of my people that are positive. [I want to] talk about families, talk about sisterhood and brotherhood, and about the different things that are important to each individual.Hewitt: A mix of insecurity and not being social enough. Especially in this industry, it’s about...going out there and talking to people. I’ve done the work by getting to these openings and getting to these events, but the other half is opening my mouth. I was always that kid at the party that was just sitting down and reading a book.
