Where can our readers stay updated on LEXX and all of his future
plans?
@photosbylexx everything social media lol. My website is going to
feature my daily blog of new projects, behind the scenes work and new
concepts I might have cooking. As well as previous works and projects
as flashback reminders to those who have followed my work through my
journey as a photographer.
Who is you favorite model?
That’s a tuff one. There are so many talented individuals out there
and I have had the great pleasure of working with some as well. Quite
frankly, the ones that have become de friends and supporters, which
are like 4 I’ve come across remain to be my favorite. They know who
they are. lol
How does it feel to be such of a recognized photographer?
God’s blessings if I am recognized. To be honest, I don’t think I’ve
made it there yet. As far as being a well recognized photographer
