Azir Norwood is a young photographer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The
following photos you will see were takem between February 2016-June 2016 when he was 11
years old. I chose to feature him him because of his extraordinary eye and instinctive ability
when capturing photos. At each shoot he ran into opposition from much older and seasoned
photographers and models. Many times having to bully his way into a shot, Barely over 4 ft tall
and questionably under 80 lbs at the time, I would lend my 230 lbs , 6ft frame as a buffer
between him and “the elders”.He was not even taken seriously until he was showed the images
he captured . He quickly gained the respect of his older peers and on each set seemed to be
adopted them as an impromptu apprentice. The dismissive attitude I saw coming from
SO once again I introduce you to Mr. Azir Norwood professionally known as Brown.
