Videographer Showcase

A look into the lives of our Community Creatives

Whitney Zhu from San Francisco, CA.

What inspired you to venture into videography?

"Growing up my dad owned a tv repair shop, so I watched a lot a lot of tv. And commercials always stood out to me, because they were captivating, fun and memorable. Once I got a camera in high school I tried to remake mock commercials with my friends lols"

How would you describe your video style?

"I'll say I don’t have a set video style for now. I’m still exploring and dabbling with different styles, trying to learn different techniques. But I do find myself gravitating towards creating short form and more fast pace videos."

What do you hope people get out of your artwork?

"I want to entertain people! I rely on music a lot, so naturally the music elicit certain types of emotion. Like when the music slows down then there's a beat drop and video matches that with a series of fast cuts, usually it creates a small rush of adrenaline, at least when I’m watching it lols. It’s fun to create and hopefully to watch!"

We created our Actually Slim Fit so guys could find confidence and feel comfortable in the clothes they wear. What does a good fitting shirt mean to you?

"Being a petite female, I struggle with sleeves being too long, pants too long etc. Having good fitting clothes means I can wear it straight out of the box without tailoring."
