Daniel Wooden is a photographer focusing on music and personalities.

I first met Daniel in Philly shooting all your favorite parties. Tall as hell, vibrant, loving, either shooting digital or film, it was great to see him always capturing the moment.

Like many do, creatives leave Philly to other cities to tune their craft, hone their skills, go beyond and see what else is there to offer outside of our amazing city of brotherly love.

Daniel has worked for select clients such as Nike Toronto, Heineken, Mad Decent, Complex Media, and Mass Appeal for their special projects, event recaps and press media. Previously at Little Giant Media.

Linking and building, bringing the wood, welcome to the show, Daniel Wooden.

Please welcome Daniel Wooden to Wear Many Hats.

Christine Espinal is a Spatial Designer based in NYC that I met in Philly at Yowie that works over at Lichen NYC.

I feel like I’m on a roll with interviewing everyone at Lichen NYC because I love everything and everyone who sets foot in that store and what they do.

Christine’s conceptual renderings of storefronts, hotels, trade show booths, is a future we’re looking to see within the commercial space.

Christine was always on our radar because of all the sketch modeling she posts online along with the processes.

Trust the process with Christine Espinal.

Walid Shaharul is a Brooklyn based artist that is a self-taught painter from Queens.

He recently had his first solo exhibition put on by the homies over at the art collective, Roosi entitled ‘Safe Space’ at Synesthesia.

Walid’s figures have distorted faces which reminds you of Francis Bacon.

We don’t eat bacon because we’re about that muslim lifestyle. Except for prosciutto and pepperoni.

This is a safe space, no one needs to know about your harams or habibis.

But no really, his show “Safe Space” brings out the bright and attractive backdrops along with bright colors that provide positive and joyful feelings of each of their figures.

Please welcome Walid Shaharul to Wear Many Hats.

Jeffrey Melo is an artist that is represented by Black Wall Street Gallery.

His painting, ‘Behind The Walls, Lies Our Foundation” which is 54 x 54 inches, oil on canvas, is up in the BWS exhibition on 26 Mercer Street.

I’ve always wanted Jae to be part of the Dahsar collections so I’m glad he was able to take a break from his painting schedule to come hang with us.

He models on the side, does Jiu Jitsu, rips on the guitar. His Prince painting is phenomenal.

Another UArts alum that we met in Philly. I’m glad to always see him at all of our functions.

Just like his last name, very mellow.

Please welcome Jeffery Melo to Wear Many Hats.

Tv shows such as Daredevil, Master of None, The OA, Crashing, The Godfather of Harlem, High Fidelity, The Flight Attendant, and Gossip Girl. HBO not The CW.

Films such as John Wick. That’s all I could find.

Even though as a first assistant camera operator or second, Cam is also a photographer who shoots on many different film cameras outside of work.

All the UArts homies work in film. I didn’t go to UArts.

We all know each other from Philly. We literally are the Fast and Furious, Vin Diesel Paul Walker Because Family Meme where they say family, 33 times in that movie. Don’t fact check me on that.

This isn’t Hot 97 but this could be the Breakfast Club.

We have the Gamay Papi and Mini Mami of the wine world.
