Anthony Supreme – Taking Chances + Building Relationships
LA based director/photographer Anthony "Supreme" Thompson sat down with us this week to share his story of how he went from directing and producing music videos in North Carolina, to living out of his car in LA and landing the opportunity to photograph the cover of J. Cole's newest album "4 Your Eyez Only". This Anthony Supreme interview is not one to miss!
Anthony takes us through his journey and shows us the relationships he's built along the way in his career. He also dives into why he left North Carolina for LA to live out of his Honda Element.
