INTRODUCTORY POST

Yoo, my name is Shemar, aka Mar, aka Mr 411, aka 411Mar. I’m 18 and a Brooklyn native, I attended school at South Shore High School in Canarsie. About 10 months ago I discovered my new profound passion for creating art through conceptual photography, it’s a pretty cool story on how I got started.

Throughout 2022, I went viral multiple times on TikTok due to some of the pictures I would post and the videos I would make, a consistent comment throughout all my videos was “What camera do you use?” and I replied with “I don’t have one, all photos taken on my phone.” Then one day before school, I posted a video with the caption, “More and more and more. I have so many project ideas, I just need the camera.” A couple of hours later someone commented, “Selling mine with lenses!” Crazy right? “The golden offer” is what I called it at the time, this comment changed everything.

Since then, I’ve gone on to make 7 different conceptual projects for the year primarily based on black culture, and I have 5 left to complete my goal of 12 projects in 12 months. I’ve done multiple different private shoots, I became that “camera guy” at my high school, and I had my art displayed on gallery walks in museums and studios. And I’m only getting started.

The end goal, is to take my creativity to another level, maybe direct a movie one day. Either way don’t forget the numbers 411.
